Last night, my mom taunted all of her Facebook friends via her status. She mentioned her sausage bread. Some people had never heard of sausage bread. Others started drooling in their screens. Still others begged for pictures and the recipe! In my family, sausage bread, is a staple. I've eaten it since before I can remember. However, I don't like sausage. That being said, I call mine pizza bread. Mom always made sure to make one sausage bread, one pizza bread (pepperoni) and one stromboli when she made it for our family. My dad almost always consumed a whole loaf on his own. (My daddy is a beast.) Anyway, I hadn't really thought about the recipe until last night when people asked about it. I've always just made it without thinking about it. However, it is one of the easiest recipes to follow! It can be completely homemade or semi-homemade. Until I get a bread maker, I make the semi-homemade version. My mom always makes the semi-homemade version because seriously...who has time to make homemade bread all the time? This recipe is word for word (minus a few grammar corrections I made) from my mom. Her personality sure does shine through! ;-) Love you, Mommy!
Mommy's Sausage Bread
Ingredients:
- Frozen bread dough* (or make your own if you like)
- Any pizza toppings you enjoy (Italian sausage (browned w/casings removed), Salami, Ham, Pepperoni, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Olives, Spinach, etc.)
- Cheese...lots of cheese**
- Garlic powder or Granulated Garlc
- Egg wash
- Pizza sauce
>Ok here's where it gets tricky. I have no set of instructions. I never seem to do it the same twice. I'll do my best.<
Directions:
1. Let dough thaw per package directions.
2. Take one loaf at a time and place on lightly floured surface.
3. Take your stress out by punching out air bubbles. (I pretty much keep the shape it is and just roll a bit longer and much wider, gradually flipping as needed. It takes some practice, but it's not difficult to do.)

4. Using a pastry brush (or spoon) brush dough with egg wash.
5. Liberally sprinkle with garlic.
6. Add whatever ingredients you want.
7. Top with cheese.
8. Roll longways and pinch seams together.
9. Place on greased cookie sheet seam side down.
10. Either coat bread with more egg wash or rub with oil (I use oil).
11. Sprinkle with parm. cheese if desired.
Bake about 15-20 minutes at 350.
*I use Rhodes. It comes in three loaves and is found in the frozen bread aisle. I have resorted to using Pillsbury pizza dough when I can't find the loaves but it doesn't taste as good. I have found Rhodes at Wal-Mart!
**I use mozzarella, provolone, parmesean and sometimes cheddar
Some recipes just make you think of home. This is one of those for me.
This is a staple in my family too!! LOVE doesn't even begin to cover it! :)
