Description

A heartwarming bread recipe filled with savory sausage and gooey cheese, perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup cheese (Cheddar, Gruyère, or your favorite)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk with sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In another large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, then add the activated yeast mixture, beaten eggs, and melted butter. Mix until combined.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, roughly 1 hour.
  5. While the dough rises, cook your sausage in a skillet until browned. Set aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, mix in the cheese and herbs.
  6. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly across the dough.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to create a log shape. Pinch the seams to seal and place in a greased loaf pan.
  8. Cover the pan and let it rise again in a warm environment for about 30-40 minutes until puffy.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Brush the loaf with melted butter and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Once baked, allow the loaf to cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Knead thoroughly for a nice texture and avoid skipping rise times.
