Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Whey protein powder, unflavored
- 10 grams Instant yeast
- 15 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 300 milliliters Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 250 grams Ground sausage
- 100 grams Chopped onion
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 150 grams Grated cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the sausage filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Set aside to cool.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches.
Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll the dough up from one of the long edges into a tight log, pinching the seams to seal.
Place the rolled dough seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the loaf for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown and sounding hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
