• Cut each roll into 12 (1-inch) slices, making 24 in all. Place the slices, cut-side down, onto a baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and the sausage is cooked through. Remove the pastries from the baking sheet and let cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.

Remove the frozen slices from the baking sheet and store in a gallon size resealable plastic bag in the freezer for up to 1 month. Bake the frozen slices on a baking sheet at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
