Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 1 baking sheet with foil and another with parchment.
- Toss the sausages with 1 Tbsp oil on the foil-lined baking sheet. Then, bake, flipping the sausages halfway through, until lightly browned and fully cooked, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350°F. Toss together the provolone and mozzarella in a medium mixing bowl.
- Make a slit down the length of each sausage, cutting about halfway through, and fill each with 1 tsp pesto, 2 pepper strips and 1 scant Tbsp cheese mixture; reserve any remaining cheese mixture.
- Open the dough tube and carefully unroll on a lightly floured surface. Cut 6 strips 1-1/4" by 12". Wrap 1 strip around a stuffed sausage link, coiling the strip from one end of the link to the other, leaving a 1/4-inch space between dough turns and ends of the sausage slightly exposed. Repeat with the remaining dough strips and sausages, setting the finished rolls at least 1 inch apart on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the rolls with the remaining Tbsp of oil. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved cheese mixture. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Let cool for a few minutes before cutting each roll into 4 pieces with a serrated knife. Serve warm with warm marinara sauce on the side.
