Pull-Apart Stuffing Rolls

"Buttery, tender, and packed with stuffing flavor, these pull-apart rolls will be the star of the Thanksgiving spread. [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] It's no question that stuffing is the best thing on the Thanksgiving table. It's also no question that these Easy Pull-Apart Pepperoni Garlic Knots are the most stupidly delicious easy recipe I've come up with so far this year. So what happens when you take the idea of a pull apart garlic knot and mix it up with the flavors of stuffing? A bit of Thanksgiving magic, that's what. Why this recipe works: * Building a concentrated flavor base adds plenty of flavor to the exterior of the bread, while knotting the dough allows that flavor to seep deeper into nooks and crannies. * Letting the rolls rise until pressed together in a casserole dish makes for extra-moist bread that is fun to pull apart when eating. Note: Other cured meats cut into fine dice like bacon, pancetta, or chorizo can be used in plate of the sausage. Because of how intensely flavored these rolls are, this is a case where store-bought dough (which is often under-seasoned) works just as well as homemade. So feel free to take the easy road here and use pre-made pizza dough--you won't be sacrificing any flavor...."
