Ingredients

    For the dough:

    • Store bought Pizza dough (you can make your own if you are so inclined)

    For the filling:

    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
    • 1 pound (450 grams) Circle B Ranch Sweet Italian Sausage
    • 1/2 cup of Provolone cheese grated
    • A few tablespoons of Grated Romano Cheese

    Directions

    1. Prepare onions and sausage. In a large skillet on medium heat, sauté the onions in olive oil until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.

    2. In the same skillet, brown the sausage until no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.

    3. Preheat oven to 400F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    4. Spread out the pizza dough to a 24'x 16' rectangle

    5. Evenly spread out the onions on the dough, followed by the sausage. Top with Provolone and grated Romano Cheese

    6. Roll the dough in a jelly roll fashion beginning with the long end closest to you. Once rolled, cut off excess loose dough on each end and shape into a small bun.

    7. Transfer the rolled dough on the parchment covered baking sheet. Connect both ends to form a circle. Cut a few slits on the top and let rest, covered, for 1 hour.

    8. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350F and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Let cool about 15 minutes before cutting into wedges.
