Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the flour with the hot roll mix flour.
- Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water along with the yeast from the mix.
- Add the yeast water to the flour mixture and stir until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Add about 1/2 cup of additional flour and knead for 1 minute.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into three equal parts. Roll one part into a 10-inch diameter circle to resemble a pie shell.
- Spread one-third of the cooked, drained sausage over the dough, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and bread crumbs.
- Roll the filled dough like a jelly roll.
- Cut the rolled dough into 3-inch or smaller pieces.
- Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 30 minutes.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough and fillings.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of cold butter to the dough. You can substitute the sausage with turkey sausage for a lighter option, or use ground beef for a different flavor. Using fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can elevate the filling. If you're short on time, pre-cooked sausage works well too.
Serving Suggestions
These sausage rolls make a great appetizer or snack and pair well with a tangy dipping sauce like mustard or marinara. Serve alongside a fresh salad or vegetable platter for a complete meal. They also complement dishes like Lou'S Turkey Casserole for a hearty dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sausage rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and crispy. For longer storage, freeze the rolls individually and reheat from frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese in this recipe?
Yes, you can definitely experiment with different cheeses! Cheddar or pepper jack cheese can add a nice kick. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, try using vegan cheese alternatives that melt well.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also check the internal temperature; it should reach at least 190°F (88°C) for fully cooked dough.
Can I make this dough in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before shaping and baking. Just allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling it out.
