How To Make italian sausage bread
-
1Line a cookie sheet with non-stick foil, set aside
-
2Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add onions, salt, pepper and parsley. Cook onions until they are translucent, then add the garlic. Cook the onions until they are caramelized.
-
3Remove the onions to a bowl, leaving extra oil in the pan.
-
4Put the loose sausage into pan and cook until browned, being sure to break it up into small chunks.
-
5Add the onion mixture back into pan with the sausage and cover. Simmer on low heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully as not to burn.
-
6Preheat oven to 350'F.
-
7Roll out one ball of dough onto a floured surface until it's a 8x14" rectangle. Not to thin or you'll get holes in the dough.
-
8When the sausage mixture is finished, use a slotted spoon to scoop half of it onto the dough and spread it evenly over the surface. Save the other half for the second dough. Cover with a layer of half the shredded mozzarella.
-
9Roll the dough up lengthwise, like a cinnamon roll, and tuck in the ends before you get to the end of the roll, like a burrito. Pinch the ends together to seal.
-
10Lay it with the flap down on the cookie sheet and brush with egg white. Cut slits in the top to let steam escape.
-
11Bake in the oven until golden brown, approximately 25-30 minutes. Let bread rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
12Repeat with second bread dough or refrigerate it in a plastic bag for later use. Use your favorite Marinara Sauce for dipping.
