How to Make It

Preheat
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Gently shape it to fit the baking sheet, ensuring there are no tears for a good seal.
Mix Filling

This step allows the flavors to meld together, creating a savory filling.
Assemble
Spoon the sausage and egg mixture onto the dough.
Distributing the filling evenly will help in making uniform roll-ups.
Roll Up
Roll up the dough starting from the wide end.
Make sure to tuck the filling in tightly so it doesn’t spill during baking.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the roll-ups are golden brown.
Watch closely to prevent over-baking, as oven times may vary.
