Sausage and 3 Cheese Bread

The original sausage and cheese bread recipe we have, came from my wife’s sister. Over the years we have changed it slightly. It makes a great lunch or dinner and a fantastic hors d’oeuvre for a party. Served warm it’s great and it is easy to rewarm and serve the next day. Most grocery stores today sell pizza dough and if yours doesn’t a lot of pizza stores will, or as a last resort you can make your own. We usually make a large batch and freeze them in individual bags and thaw as needed.

For the sausage you have many options. You can use an italian sausage removed from the casing (mild or hot), or your favorite style, we like Jimmy Dean’s sage sausage it gives a great flavor and isn’t too greasy.

Ingredients for Sausage and 3 Cheese Bread

1 recipe pizza dough
1 pound loose Sausage meat
1/2 cup Mozzarella diced small
1/2 cup Asiago diced small
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
2 eggs

Directions for Sausage and 3 Cheese Bread

Preheat oven to 350°

Fry up the sausage breaking it up into small pieces. Once cooked drain and place into a bowl. Add the cheeses, parsley and one egg and combine completely.

Roll the dough out to about a 12 X 9 rectangle. for easiest results place the dough onto the baking sheet before forming the log. Place the sausage in the center of the dough and pull the long sides of the dough up and over the sausage forming a roll. Now fold the ends up and over to encase and seal. Turn the roll over so that the folded seam are on the bottom.

Beat the second egg and brush over the top of the roll.

Bake at 350° for about 1/2 an hour until top is golden brown.

Remove from oven and let rest for about five minutes before slicing.

Now this is a great way to start a party! Almost a little too spicy for a SAPP (Scotish American Puppy Princess) but I did enjoy it greatly. A 5 paw recipe for sure!
