FAQs
Q: Can I use raw sausage instead of cooked?
A: It’s best to use cooked sausage for this recipe. Raw sausage will need longer cooking time, and the dough may overbake.
Q: Can I freeze these bites?
A: Yes! You can freeze the assembled but uncooked bites. Just bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! You can prepare the bites and keep them in the fridge before baking. Bake them just before serving for the best taste.
