Oh my gosh y’all! Today is my very first Secret Recipe Club post. Weeeeeeee! I think I applied a good 4 months ago, I really don’t remember how long it’s been. I got my invitation at the end of January and I am so excited to find some new foodie blogs, make new friends, and find some new amazing recipes!
For my first assignment, I got Cooking with Moxie. I was sold on the name when I opened the assignment email. Jamie’s blog has a plethora (love that word) of recipes. With her Italian heritage and love for food bringing people together, I knew I wouldn’t have any trouble deciding what to cook for this months SRC.
I was wrong. I had about 4 recipes I knew I wanted to make. I just couldn’t make myself decide between them. Seriously. I had talked myself down to making two recipes, two didn’t sound as crazy as four, just so I could try them both. In the end the need to feed the boys won out, and I decided to make something that they would all devour. Sausage Bread it is. Jamie says this dish is a family tradition, and that was all I needed to tip the scales. {I’m keeping the pasta I’m drooling over in my back pocket to share with you soon.}
Sausage Bread
Ingredients
- Pizza Dough
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound Italian sausage mild or hot (casings removed)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg beaten
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stretch out pizza dough to a rectangle on a greased baking sheet. Set aside.
-
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook sausage until cooked through and brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
-
In a large bowl, combine sausage, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and pepper.
-
Top the dough with sausage mixture, spread evenly over the surface leaving a 1" edge. Roll the dough up like a jelly roll. The seam should be down when you are done so the filling doesn't ooze out. Pinch the edges closed. Rub the remaining 2 tablespoons oil all over the bread to prevent sticking and to help brown the bread.
-
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until dough is cooked and lightly browned. Cut into 1" slices and serve.
