How To Make sweet italian sausage and basil bread

• 1

  Remove sausage from casing and crumble. Place in skillet and brown on medium heat removing all pink. Take out and drain on a few paper towels.
• 2

  In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, basil, and sausage. Use a spoon to mix together well. Note: if using dried spices, rub them in the palm of your hand to bring out their aroma.
• 3

  Take a baking sheet and place your pizza dough on it. Form a rectangle. Add the mixture evenly onto the pizza dough leaving a 1 inch border mixture free.
• 4

  Roll the dough tightly to make a "Jelly roll" . Press the seam and close the sides so the mixture will be sealed inside. Next turn the roll over so the seam is on the bottom.
• 5

  Whisk the egg just enough so it is mixed well. Brush it over the loaf.
• 6

  Place baking sheet in preheated 350* oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Bring out of oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing the loaf.
