DAWN'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 bake. Clear an area on the table or counter then sprinkle with flour. Roll dough out on floured surface to a round shape,like a pizza. Keep the dough around 1/4 inch thick. Flip dough over and repeat. Do not over roll the dough or make it too thin. Once rolled out then rub the dough with the olive oil and crushed garlic. Spread the sausage on the dough but be careful not to rip the dough. Top with the remaining ingredients. Carefully, roll the dough into a log shape. To ensure the log stays closed, you may need to spread a little olive oil so the dough adheres. Then cut into 1 inch pin wheels. Place each wheel flat, on a greased 9x11 baking pan, 2 inches apart. Let stand for 10 minutes then place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Best served hot. Store in refrigerator, if there's any left. They go fast!!They can be re-heated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds but they are better when re-heated in a toaster oven. It makes them crunchy and tasty! Level: Moderate Mangia!
