Additional seasonings and spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper, can also be added to taste.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the chilled butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until the mixture has a crumbly texture. Add in the cold water, a little at a time, and mix until a dough forms.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is browned and crumbled. Add in the diced onion and bell pepper and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until they are softened. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dough, leaving about an inch border around the edges. Top with the cooled sausage mixture. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side, and pinch the edges to seal.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the rolled-up dough into 1-inch slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
