Pull-Apart Pizza Sliders Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 F with a rack in the center position. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Stir in the marinara, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Step 2

Cut the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time (and keeping the remaining dough covered with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel while you work), roll or stretch the dough into a 4-inch circle. Place 3 tablespoons of the sausage filling in the center of the dough, then fold the edges up and over the filling, pinching the dough to seal. Place pizza roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining dough and filling, arranging the pizza rolls on the baking sheet so that they are just barely touching each other.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil, garlic powder and oregano. Brush evenly over the tops of the pizza rolls. Sprinkle with flaky salt. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes and serve with warmed marinara for dipping.
