Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12x10 inch rectangle.
  2. Step 2: In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Crumble and cook 8 oz Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Step 3: Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce evenly over the dough rectangle. Scatter cooked sausage, 1 cup halved seedless red grapes, and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Sprinkle 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal 1-inch thick slices.
  5. Step 5: Place the slices cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes until dough is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Step 6: Let cool 5 minutes before serving warm as fun finger food or kid-friendly snack.
