Maw Moore's Sausage Bread
Ingredients
- 2 bunches green onions, chopped
- 1 (2 1/4-oz.) can chopped black olives
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 3 to 4 links of sausage, sliced into very thin slices
- 1 recipe of basic bread (recipe follows) or 2 (1-lb.) loaves of frozen bread dough, thawed
- 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups grated colby Jack cheese
- Other ingredients as desired such as hot pepper, green olives, etc.
Instructions
1. Prepare bread dough. If making basic recipe, divide into two loaves.
2. Brown sausage together with the chopped red onion. Drain grease and cool mixture.
3. Roll out each loaf of bread dough on a floured board to a (12x12-inch) square. Layer sausage and other ingredients as desired ending with cheese. Roll up each loaf, jelly-roll fashion tucking the ends under before you roll.
4. Place on a large greased baking sheet, seam-side down, with one loaf on each end but not touching. Prick each loaf with a fork three or four times to allow steam from center to vent.
5. Place in a preheated 350-degree oven and bake from 1 to 1 1/2 hours until bread is done all the way through.
Note: If you are in a hurry, use half a basic bread recipe or 1 loaf of frozen bread dough and form into medium-sized balls. Place half of the balls in the bottom of a greased (10-inch) springform pan. Place the sausage, other ingredients and almost all of the cheese on top of that. Place the remaining dough balls on top and top with remaining cheese (just a little). Bake at 350 degrees until bread is nicely browned and center ingredients are hot, about 1 hour.
Basic Bread Dough
Makes 2 loaves. Recipe is from Dorothea Holley.
2 (1/4-oz.) packets of yeast
2 cups warm water
6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsps. salt
1/2cup melted butter
1 egg
1. Mix yeast with 2 cups warm water.
2. Combine 2 cups of flour, sugar and salt. Add melted butter and egg. Then add in yeast with water. Mix well. Add remaining flour slowly.
3. Knead 5-8 minutes, then set dough aside, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. Continue making sausage bread as specified in recipe above. For plain bread, divide dough in two, place in 2 greased loaf pans, let dough rise again for about 1 hour and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes, or until loaves are nicely browned.
Note: This makes good cinnamon rolls or pull-apart cinnamon bread. Just make small to medium balls out of half of a recipe of the basic bread dough or 1 loaf of frozen bread dough, thawed. Roll the balls in cinnamon and sugar. Then place in a well-greased Bundt pan with about 1/2 cup of cinnamon sugar and several pats of butter on top. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 35-40 minutes. You can remove from pan immediately and drizzle a simple icing on top.
