Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pound Sausage (pork or chicken, uncooked)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
Gradually add hot water and melted butter while mixing until dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the sausage mixture has cooled, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches.
Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams and edges to seal.
Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the bread.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
Allow the sausage bread to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
