Today I’m so excited to share with you one of my very favorite southern cookbooks, Melissa’s Southern Cookbook: Tried-and-True Family Recipes, published earlier this summer by my friend Melissa Sperka. Melissa is a fellow Carolinian and one of the friendliest and most hospitable southern ladies you will ever meet. There’s a good chance y’all already know Melissa from her hugely popular blog, Melissa’s Southern-Style Kitchen.

Melissa learned to cook from her mother and grandmothers and is one of those truly amazing southern cooks and her cookbook is full of one mouth-watering recipe after the other.

Variations and Substitutions

This pizza rolls are really easy to customize.

  • Leave any of the ingredients out that you don’t like.
  • Use crescent roll dough instead of pizza dough.
  • Leave the red pepper flakes out if you don’t want them spicy.

Recipe Tip

For best presentation, try to roll the dough up as tightly as possible and cut it into pinwheels with a really sharp knife.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray a 16-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium-size skillet, heat a light drizzle of olive oil. Add the sausage, onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Season with the Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 10 minutes, or until no pink remains in sausage. Remove from the heat and drain or spread onto double-lined paper towels to remove excess oil.

  3. 3

    Stretch the pizza crust into a roughly 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread with 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the crumbled sausage mixture over the cheese, arranging the black olive and mini pepperoni slices on top. Cover with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.

  4. 4

    Begin to roll, starting with the widest edge. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut into 16 equal portions.When cutting into portions, if the rolls come apart slightly, don't panic; rewrap and press together. Place side by side on the prepared pan, starting in the center of the pan and forming into a circle.. As the cheese melts and the dough bakes, the filling will adhere.

  5. 5

    Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and the remaining cup of mozzarella cheese. Continue to bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese before serving, if desired, and serve with the remaining cup of warm pizza sauce on the side, for dipping.
