ROLLÒ with SAUSAGES, delightful appetizers to make quickly with leavened dough or ready-made pizza, an idea for birthday parties and buffets.
Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday, and, as every year, I wanted to prepare something delicious to celebrate with her friends. No balloons or kids’ decorations: she’s a teenager now and wants a trendy, simple but tasty buffet.
So I chose the rollò with sausages: one of those appetizers that disappear quickly from the tray. They are practical, quick to make with ready-made pizza dough or with a good homemade leavened dough, and above all, they can be prepared in advance. They’re explosive when hot, but they remain excellent even at room temperature.
A perfect idea for a home birthday party or a get-together with friends when you want something rustic but irresistible.
The rollò with sausages is an appetizer that works, especially at a party. With chicken or turkey sausages, they become lighter, and the pizza dough remains a simple base. In short: a treat you can indulge in without too much guilt.
It’s the birthday appetizer that pleases everyone: practical, delicious, perfect to prepare in advance and serve without stress.
For my daughter’s birthday, it was a success: the tray was emptied in no time, a sign that some recipes, even simple ones, never go out of fashion.
