• Pizza dough

• 2 cups Joe’s tomato sauce

How to Prepare

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

2. Lightly flour the pizzadough to prevent any sticking. Stretch and roll the dough until it is a large rectangle. Drizzle Vito & Joe’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil over the dough and spread evenly, leaving the edges uncovered.

3. Lightly salt and pepper the dough to taste, then spread the dough with 2 cups tomato sauce, still leaving the edges uncovered.

4. Top the dough with 1 lb. ground sausage, 1 cup shredded Parmesan-Romano mix, and 2 cups shredded mozzarella. Tear up fresh basil and place all over the dough.

5. Starting on the short side of the rectangle, roll the dough up into a log. Press the edge to seal the roll.

6. Grease a large muffin tin. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pizza roll into slices about as thick as your muffin tin is deep. Place the slices into the muffin tin.

7. Bake at 450°F for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove from ove, let cool, and remove from the muffin tin.

8. Serve with sauce, fresh grated parmesan, and fresh basil. Enjoy!
