Directions:

In a large saucepan, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute the diced onions for 4 to 5 minutes.  Add the minced  garlic and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the Italian sausage and cook until there is no pink visible.  Remove from the heat and drain any excess fat from the pan.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

On parchment paper, stretch the dough into a 10 x 13-inch rectangle.

Sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.  Arrange the cooked sausage on top, and then drizzle with the "All Time Favorite Tomato Sauce".  Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Begin to roll the dough starting from the widest edge.  Arrange seem side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the top and sides with the melted butter.

Sprinkle the seasonings on top, and finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 18 minutes.

Allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into 1 to 2-inch slices.  Serve with additional "All Time Favorite Tomato Sauce" for dipping.
