Ingredients
- 24 frozen dinner rolls thawed but still cold [see Cook's note]
- 1 lb sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1/4 cup minced sweet onion
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dry Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese divided
- 1 cup finely shredded Asiago cheese divided
- 1/2 cup butter melted

Instructions
- Arrange the frozen rolls on a sheet of wax paper on the counter. Thaw for 20-30 minutes, then use a sharp knife and quarter.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat cook the the Italian sausage and minced onion until no pink remains. Drain all excess fat from the pan. Set aside to cool.
- Seasoned Coating - Into a gallon size plastic storage bag toss together the grated Parmesan cheese, dry Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and garlic salt.
- Coat the bread pieces in the melted butter then add to bag with the seasonings-cheese mixture. Seal and shake until coated.
- Spritz the bottom and sides of a non-stick 13x9 inch metal baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the dough pieces rolls on the bottom of the pan. (At this point, they won't touch, the bread still has to rise.)
- Over the rolls sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 of the Asiago cheese and 1/2 of the crumbled sausage.
- Repeat layers ending with the final 1/3 of shredded mozzarella cheese and Asiago.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise in a draft free place until doubled. Around 1 1/2- 2 hours.
- Uncover and bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes or until puffy and golden.
- Pull apart and serve with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.
