Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage to customize the flavor profile. Spicy Italian sausage, maple sausage, or even chorizo would be delicious! For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. If you don't have mozzarella cheese on hand, cheddar, provolone, or Monterey Jack would also work well. These fluffins are best served warm, but they can also be reheated in the microwave or oven.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups of the flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, salt, and Italian herb seasoning. (5 minutes)
02
StepAdd warm water and corn oil to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. (2 minutes)
03
StepGradually add the remaining 1-1/4 cups of flour, mixing until a stiff but sticky dough forms. (3 minutes)
04
StepStir in the cooked sausage and mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (2 minutes)
05
StepCover the bowl and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and the dough to become even more tender. (10 minutes)
06
StepGenerously grease 12 (2-1/2 inch) muffin cups or 36 mini muffin cups. Portion the dough into the prepared muffin cups using a scoop or two spoons. Avoid using paper liners, as they may stick to the fluffins. (10 minutes)
07
StepCover the muffin cups and let the dough rise in a warm place for 35 to 45 minutes. The dough will rise, but not necessarily double in size. (40 minutes)
08
StepPreheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (10 minutes)
09
StepBake for 20 to 25 minutes (or 17 to 20 minutes for mini fluffins), or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (22 minutes)
10
StepLet the fluffins cool in the muffin tin for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Run a knife around each roll to remove from pan. (2 minutes)
11
StepServe warm with pizza sauce for dipping, if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.
