Sausage Pinwheel
I was looking for an appetizer to take to a New Year’s Eve party and my butcher told me about a sausage pinwheel that his grandmother used to make in Italy. I believe he said it was called a piccoli, Italian for pinwheel. As the crowd I was partying with always devours anything with sausage, I thought this would make the ideal party fare; and boy was I right. I made one large pinwheel and sliced it into pieces. It disappeared in record time.
Try this appetizer and you will be amazed at how easy it is to make and how well it is welcomed at the party.

Prepare pizza dough per instructions. Allow to rise until double in size, punch down and divide in half. Allow dough to rest.
In a large sauté pan heat oil, add onions, thyme, garlic and pepper and sauté until onions are golden brown. In a separate pan, sauté sausage, breaking it into small pieces, until fully cooked. Drain and add to the onions and blend.
Roll the pizza dough out into 2, 12 inch by 15 inch squares. Spread the onion and sausage mixture evenly onto the dough, allowing 3/4 inch of edges exposed. Roll the dough from the long end, forming a tight log. Transfer to a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 30 -40 minutes; until golden brown. ( time depends on size of pinwheel ). Rest for 15 minutes and slice into 3/4 inch slices.
