Sausage And Cheese Fluffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour*
1 (.25 ounce) envelope Fleischmann's(R) RapidRise Yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Spice Islands(R) Italian Herb Seasoning
1 1/4 cups very warm water (120 to 130 degrees F)
1 tablespoon Mazola(R) Corn Oil
1 1/4 cups cooked, crumbled sausage
1 cup 1/4-inch cubed mozzarella cheese
For Dipping (optional):
Pizza sauce

Preparation

Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, salt and Italian herb seasoning in large mixer bowl. Add water and oil; beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Gradually add remaining 1-1/4 cups flour to make a stiff yet sticky dough. Stir in sausage and cheese. Cover bowl and let rest 10 minutes.
Portion dough into 12 (2-1/2 inch) generously greased muffin cups OR 36 mini muffin cups using a scoop or two spoons (do not use paper liners). Cover and let rise 35 to 45 minutes. Dough will rise, but not double in size.
Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes (17 to 20 minutes for minis) until well browned. Let cool on wire rack for 2 minutes. Run a knife around each roll to remove from pan. Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping, if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers.
