What You Need To Make This Tomasini Sicilian Sausage Rolls Recipe?

Tomasini Sicilian Sausage Rolls

Pizza Dough: This forms the base of our rolls. Allows for creativity. You can make your homemade dough or save time with a high-quality store-bought option. It’s important to use fresh dough as it will result in irresistible rolls.

Large Egg (Beaten): Think of this egg, as the binding agent that brings everything together. It gives our rolls a color and adds a lovely shine. Moreover it infuses the dough with a touch of love making it more special.

Ricotta Cheese: Ah, ricotta, the dream maker! This cheese is at the core of our rolls creating a melt-in-your-mouth filling. It’s like a cloud that perfectly complements the spiciness of the sausage achieving a balance.

Italian Sausage: The star of our creation! Make sure to use sausage without its casing – we want those flavors to truly shine through. It’s this savory character that gives these rolls their personality.

Freshly Ground Black Pepper: A sprinkle of pepper adds the right amount of warmth and depth, to the filling. It’s, like a cozy hug for your taste buds providing a comforting sensation with each bite.

Red Chili Flakes: These little flavor boosters are here to awaken your palate! The amount you use depends on how spicy you like it. Feel free to adjust according to your taste preferences – all it’s your kitchen and your rules.

Salt: Just a pinch of salt acts as the conductor in an orchestra bringing all the flavors together harmoniously. However be mindful as the sausage might already bring some saltiness to the party.

Sliced Green Onions: These delightful green additions bring a touch of freshness and a subtle hint of onion flavor to our rolls. They’re like confetti that adds vibrancy to the celebration of flavors.

Pecorino Romano Cheese: This cheese is our weapon adding a nutty richness to our rolls. It’s, like a storyteller who narrates tales of flavor in every layer.

Steps To Make Tomasini Sicilian Sausage Rolls:

Tomasini Sicilian Sausage Rolls

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2: On a surface lightly dusted with flour roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle measuring 12×18 inches.

Step 3: Using half of the beaten egg brush the surface of the dough.

Step 4: Starting 3 inches, from the edge of the longer side of the dough place rounded tablespoons of ricotta onto the dough in a row. Leave 1 1/2 inches of space between each scoop. Create a row below the first one but position the ricotta scoops in an offset manner to form a checkerboard pattern. Repeat this pattern until you reach the bottom of the dough using all of the ricotta.

Step 5: Fill in the spaces between the ricotta scoops with tablespoons of sausage. Ensure that each row aligns its cheese scoops with sausage from the next rows and vice versa.

Step 6: Season the rolls with pepper, red chili flakes and salt. Keep in mind that sausage may already have flavors. Sprinkle thinly sliced onions evenly over them. Grate pecorino Romano cheese, over the filling.

Step 7: Starting from the edge with 3 inches of dough rolled up divide the rolled dough into 12 pieces. Arrange them with the cut side facing up on the baking sheet that has been prepared.

Step 8: Using the remaining beaten egg gently brush the surface of each sausage roll. If you prefer you can also sprinkle some additional pecorino Romano cheese on top.

Step 9: Place the baking sheet in an oven. Bake until the rolls have a beautiful golden brown color, which should take approximately 45 to 50 minutes.

Tip:

Tomasini Sicilian Sausage Rolls

It’s important to seal your Tomasini Sicilian Sausage Rolls for two reasons. Firstly it prevents any of the delicious filling from escaping during baking, which can create a situation and result in the loss of ingredients. Secondly, a sealed roll maintains its shape. Looks more visually appealing when served.

To achieve this once you have layered the filling and are ready to roll up the dough take a moment to moisten the exposed edge of the dough, with water. You can use your fingertip or a pastry brush for this step. The moisture acts as an adhesive helping the dough stick together. As you roll up the dough this damp edge will bond with the dough creating a seal that holds everything, in place.

Think of it like sealing an envelope. The moisture ensures that the edges of the dough cling together tightly forming a seal. This simple technique can greatly impact both how your sausage rolls look and taste when they come out of the oven – picture-perfect and packed with flavor. So remember not to skip this step; it’ll reward you with sealed and delicious rolls every time you make them.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of ricotta?

While ricotta is the choice, for this recipe you can try using soft cheeses like goat cheese or cottage cheese for a unique variation.

How spicy are the rolls with the red chili flakes?

You can adjust the level of spiciness according to your taste. Start with an amount of red chili flakes and increase if you prefer it hotter.

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Definitely! You can make the rolls ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just remember to adjust the baking time if they’re chilled from being refrigerated.
