This is a family recipe from my great aunt. She made her own pizza dough, and you can certainly do that if you want; I tend to use store-bought because it shortens the prep time & I'm usually in a hurry. This is always a big hit, any time I make it. If you take it to an office potluck or party, be sure to print off copies of the recipe; you will definitely get requests for it!

How To Make rolled pizza

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 2
    Brown the sausage in a frying pan, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain well & set aside to cool.
  • 3
    Mix together the tomato paste, garlic, oregano or Italian seasoning, salt and pepper (taste to adjust seasonings; you can really use however much you like)
  • 4
    Dust your work surface with flour and roll out one package of pizza dough into a rectangle not quite the size of a 9 x 13 baking sheet.
  • 5
    Spread half the tomato paste mixture onto the dough. Go all the way to the edge on the short sides but not on the long.
  • 6
    Sprinkle on half the cheeses, then half the sausage. Again, go all the way to the short edges but not the long.
  • 7
    Fold the short edges over, then roll the dough lengthwise; you should end up with something that looks like a giant burrito.
  • 8
    Transfer roll to a baking sheet lined with a silpat or sprayed with non-stick spray.
  • 9
    Repeat steps 5 through 8 for the 2nd package of dough.
  • 10
    Brush each roll with the egg wash.
  • 11
    Bake 35 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
  • 12
    Slice and serve at room temperature.
