Steps:
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat; add the onions and cook until softened and slightly browned, about 20 minutes. Stir in the oregano, garlic and red and yellow peppers and cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, using the back of a wooden spoon to break up the sausage meat into small bits, until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each puff pastry sheet to about 13 inches long and 10 inches wide. Place one of the puff pastry pieces on each lined baking sheet; set aside the other two. Whisk the egg in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water.
- Sprinkle 2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese over one of the puff pastry sheets on a baking sheet, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the pastry. Continue layering with half the caramelized onions and peppers, sausage and pepperoni; finish with half the mozzarella slices. Brush the border of the puff pastry with the egg wash, lay one of the remaining puff pastry pieces over top and use a fork to crimp the edges. Using a sharp paring knife, cut three 1 1/2-inch vents in the top. Put the pie into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes before cooking. Repeat with the other puff pastry pieces and layering ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Brush one of the pies with the egg wash. Bake on the bottom rack until the pastry is nicely browned, about 20 minutes.
- Wrap the second pie in plastic wrap on the baking sheet, then in aluminum foil; freeze. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Unwrap the pie and brush it with egg wash. Bake from frozen on the bottom rack until the pastry is nicely browned, about 30 minutes.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERONI CHEESE STUFFED CALZONE
This is a great, tasty big calzone! I used one can of Pillsbury pizza dough (about 13.5 ounces) which is a great way to make this calzone quickly. I made one large calzone which was divided to serve two people.

PEPPERONI PIZZA PUFFS
Pizza seems like a great party food, but it can be a little messy and also gets cold fast. One year, for a birthday party for one of the cousins, my brother-in-law Joey, who's always been a creative problem solver, had the idea to make pizza puffs, putting the filling inside the dough, in a sort of mini-calzone. As with pizza, you can change the filling, replacing the pepperoni with sausage or vegetables, such as sauteed mushrooms.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Using floured hands if needed, carefully stretch each piece into a thin disk (the shape doesn't have to be perfect) about 5 inches in diameter.
- Transfer the dough balls to the prepared baking sheet and fill each with 1/2 tablespoon mozzarella on one half, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Line the cheese with 3 slices pepperoni, and a strip of red pepper. Starting from the smaller border, stretch the dough over the filling, then continue rolling the dough (like you would roll a carpet) to wrap the filling twice. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Pinch any holes with your fingers to patch.
- Brush the dough with a very light coating of olive oil. Bake until golden-brown, 15 to 17 minutes, then remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
