MAIN COURSES & SIDES
Makes four, 7-inch rolls
1. Put pork pieces into the freezer for 30 minutes to slightly
harden. While pork is in the freezer, toast fennel seeds in
a pan over medium heat. Reserve.
2. Insert the large chopping blade into the large work bowl.
With the food processor running on High, drop the garlic
through the small feed tube to finely chop. When the
pork shoulder cubes are sufficiently cold, put them into
the large bowl with the chopped garlic. Add the toasted
fennel seeds, salt, pepper and sugar. Pulse to coarsely
chop, about 15 to 20 times.
3. In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, cook
chopped pork until completely browned. With a slotted
spoon, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to
drain and cool. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
4. While sausage is cooling and oven is heating, lightly dust
a flat surface with flour. Roll the prepared pizza dough
into an 18-inch circle. Divide into four equal pieces.
5. Take one piece of dough and place it in front of you
with the point facing away from you. Put ½ cup of the
shredded mozzarella into the center of each piece
of dough and arrange into a horizontal straight line.
Distribute the meat evenly on top of each cheese pile.
Top each with ¼ cup of pizza sauce.
6. Close roll by folding the long bottom part of the dough
loosely over the mixture, then fold the tip over the folded
dough and tuck under roll. The sides of the sausage roll
will be exposed. Repeat with each of the pieces of dough.
7. Put the rolls on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake in
the lower part of the oven until dough is golden brown,
about 20 to 25 minutes.

SAUSAGE ROLLS
The taste of homemade sausage surpasses the taste of prepackaged and is
very easy to make in the Cuisinart
®
food processor. Cook it “loose” on the
stovetop to add to any pasta or sauce dish, or make New York City-style
sausage rolls using pizza dough and sauce like we do here.
