Sicilian Sausage Bread (Bignolati)

Sicilian Sausage Bread (Bignolati) is a famous fast snack I prepare for everyone. It is also quite filling. All you need is Pizza Dough (you can use my recipe here, or any recipe you enjoy) your favorite sausage and olives. When I am pressed for time sometimes I buy my dough. The best part about bignolati is that you can stuffed them with whatever you like. The traditional bignolati is sausage and black olives but you can easily add green olives instead. You can also (which i highly recommend) is making a pizza version with pepperoni, cheese and sauce (you just have to cook it less) My kids LOVE IT!

If you are using my dough recipe, you will make about 15-20 rolls per dough, depending on the size you cut them. I also use bigger baking trays (the ones my Nonna used to have) they are the best! You can buy on amazon here is the LINK

I really like using the bigger trays because it makes LESS DISHES and we all know how much I LOVE doing dishes 😉 So, below I have written out the traditional recipe again you can substitute it with your favorite ingredients.
