Heat large skillet over medium heat until hot. Cook sausage 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, breaking sausage into crumbles; drain and transfer to bowl. Preheat oven to 400o. Add olives, parsley and Italian seasoning to sausage mixture; mix well. Unroll on package French bread dough onto cutting board, forming a 12 x 10 inch square. Spread half of the pizza sauce over dough within 1 inch of edge. Sprinkle half of the sausage mixture over sauce. Starting at front edge, roll dough into a cylinder; pinch to seal. Carefully transfer roll onto baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, sauce and filling mixture to form a second roll. Slice 8 diagonal cuts across the top of each roll. Bake 25-30 minutes or until bread is deep golden brown. Slice into 1 inch slices. Serve hot.
