Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams whole wheat flour
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 180 milliliters warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 250 grams lean chicken sausage
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, warm water, olive oil, honey, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Remove the casing from the lean chicken sausages and crumble the sausage meat into a skillet.
Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the sausage is cooked through and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the sausage in the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and roll it out into a rectangle about 12x8 inches.
Spread the cooled sausage mixture evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Starting with a long side, roll the dough up tightly, pinching the seams to seal. Tuck the ends underneath the roll.
Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the top of the bread roll with the egg white to give it a nice glaze.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow cooling slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Low Fat Savory Sausage Bread warm or at room temperature.
