Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Hot water
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 pound Sausage (pork or chicken, uncooked)
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.

Step 2

Gradually add hot water and melted butter while mixing until dough comes together.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough rises, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 7

Once the sausage mixture has cooled, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches.

Step 10

Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 11

Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams and edges to seal.

Step 12

Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 13

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the surface of the bread.

Step 14

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

Step 15

Allow the sausage bread to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
