Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This recipe originates from my sausage bread which I would always make for special occasions and give as gifts during the holidays. I realized, and so did my kids, that this is just too good not to have more than a few times a year. So that is how my sausage bread rounds as a delicious anytime appetizer came about!

The aroma in the Test Kitchen, while these were baking was awesome! I knew they were going to be good. The sweet Italian sausage with the cheese and garlic stuffing is so flavorful. I love that these are smaller... you can eat even more!

How To Make sausage bread rounds

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray one 12 cup and one 6 cup (or 3 six cup, using 16 cups) muffin/cupcake pans with cooking spray and set aside.
  • 2
    In large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage almost completely(leaving slightly pink). crumbling into pieces with spatula, drain.
  • 3
    Add into sausage, 1 teaspoon pepper, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon oregano, cook until brown.
  • 4
    Turn off heat, and add in 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and egg yolk, stir completely.
  • 5
    Cut bread dough loaf into quarters, then cut each quarter again in quarters. Roll each piece into a ball, then stretch ball into a round, as if making a pizza crust.
