​2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) envelope rapid rise yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon seasoning – oregano or cumin
1 and 1/4 cups very warm water (120 to 130 degrees F)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 and 1/4 cups cooked, crumbled sausage
1 cup 1/4-inch cubed or shredded mozzarella cheese
  1. Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt and seasoning in large mixer bowl. Add water and oil; beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Gradually add remaining 1-1/4 cups flour to make a stiff, yet sticky dough. Stir in sausage and cheese. Cover bowl and let rest 10 minutes.
  2. Portion dough into 12 (2-1/2 inch) generously greased muffin cups OR 36 mini muffin cups using a scoop or two spoons (do not use paper liners). Cover and let rise 35 to 45 minutes. Dough will rise, but not double in size.
  3. Bake in preheated 375 degrees oven for 20 to 25 minutes (17 to 20 minutes for minis) until well browned. Let cool on wire rack for 2 minutes. Run a knife around each roll to remove from pan. Refrigerate any leftovers, if sausage is used.
