Serves: 6

3 4-oz pieces pizza dough, store bought
6 spicy Italian sausages
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
15 whole garlic cloves
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
salt and pepper

In a sauce pan add 1/2 inch water to the pan. Immerse sausages in water and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove sausage and dry the pan. Return to the heat and add the olive oil on medium heat. When hot return the sausage to the pan with garlic cloves and sautý until medium brown all over. Remove garlic to a bowl. Remove sausage to a plate to cool. Use a fork to mash the garlic with salt and pepper. Stir in mustard and set aside.
Cut each dough into 2 and roll out until 1/4 inch thick. Cut six pieces of dough approx. 3 inches wide and 1/2 in shorter then the length of sausage, just enough to wrap around sausage with the ends peeking out. Spread bottom of each dough with a tablespoon of garlic/mustard paste. Set sausage on top, moisten 1 dough edge with a wet finger so it sticks together and roll. Press the seam firmly and set them on a lightly floured sheet pan, seam side down. Brush with olive oil. Place in 375 oven until brown all around.
Remove and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 3/4-inch long pieces and serve.
