Cooking: Sausage Roll Up

So far, I have not tried making pizza dough myself. I will adventure into that very soon. For now, I want to share a use for the raw prepackaged pizza dough.

My mom used to make a sausage roll up and I have continued to make it as one of my family's go-to dinners. Not sure where the recipe came from, it just arrived in our life one day. This recipe can be used as a breakfast or dinner. We generally use it as a dinner. Quick, easy, three ingredients! 

Ingredients:

1 package raw pizza dough

1 pound breakfast sausage

1 pound motzorella cheese

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2) Brown one package of breakfast sausage. Then grind it through the food processor to get it to a fine crumble. 

3) Then on a baking sheet, roll out the pizza dough until it fills most of the baking sheet. 

4) Sprinkle on the sausage and spread out so it is an even layer on the pizza dough. 

5) Sprinkle one pound of motzorella cheese as an even layer on top of the sausage layer. 

6) Start to roll the dough carefully along the long side of the dough. Keep rolling until it is completely rolled up (so the inside will resemble a cinnamon roll when cut). Make sure the final seam is positioned under the roll. 

7) Take the ends and tuck the top flap of the roll up under the bottom so the layers are fully enveloped in the dough. Repeat on the other side.  

8) Bake until golden brown, about 15-17 minutes.

Cut and serve. Not exactly the prettiest meal, but filling and good.
