How to Make Hot Sausage And Mozzarella Roll

  1. Thaw the dough in the refrigerator overnight, or at room temperature until soft enough to leave a fingerprint indentation.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large skillet, cook 1 lb Italian sausage and 1 medium onion (chopped) over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently and breaking up the sausage with a spoon. Let cool completely.
  3. Lightly flour a clean surface. Gently pat out one piece of pizza dough to form a 14x9 inch rectangle.
  4. Evenly distribute half of the cooled sausage mixture, 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley over the dough, leaving a 1-2 inch border at the far edge.
  5. Tightly roll up the dough from the long side, like a jelly roll. Tuck the ends underneath to seal.
  6. Transfer the roll, seam-side down, to a lightly greased baking sheet.
  7. Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining dough and filling.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of both rolls generously with the egg wash.
  9. Sprinkle sesame seeds (optional) over the egg wash.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  11. Let the rolls cool slightly before slicing into 1 1/2 inch thick slices. Serve warm and enjoy!
