Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 (12-ounce) packages mini chicken or beef cocktail sausages, patted dry
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- A small pinch of salt
- A small pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Flour, for rolling and cutting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the inside of an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray or oil and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and set aside.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Remove the pizza dough from the tube and gently unroll it onto the floured surface. Press or roll it slightly to form a neat rectangle.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into small strips approximately 1 inch by 2 inches.
- Brush the dough strips lightly with the seasoned butter mixture.
- Wrap each mini sausage with one strip of dough, overlapping slightly and pinching the seam to seal.
- Stand each wrapped sausage upright in the prepared springform pan. Arrange them close together but not tightly packed. Tilting the pan slightly as you work can help keep them standing.
- Once the pan is filled, brush the remaining butter mixture generously over the tops of the dough.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any butter drips. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, loosely cover the pan with foil to prevent over-browning and continue baking for another 20–25 minutes, or until the dough is fully cooked and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before releasing the springform pan.
- Serve warm with dipping sauces such as ketchup, mustard, or marinara sauce.
Serving Tips
