Recipe: Sausage Bread (using hot roll mix, stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, and three cheeses)

You could add 1 to 2 teaspoons jalapeno to this recipe.

SAUSAGE BREAD

1 (16 ounce) package hot bread roll mix
2 pounds pork sausage
2 (8 ounce) packages pepperoni, finely chopped
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
4 eggs
5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG) (optional)
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Prepare roll mix according to package directions, letting rise only once, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large skillet brown the pork sausage and pepperoni and drain well.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage mixture, mozzarella, cheddar, 2 beaten eggs, parmesan, garlic powder, parsley flakes, MSG, onion, and oregano. Stir until well combined; set aside.

Divide the risen dough in two. On a floured board roll out one half to a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Spread 1/2 of the filling over the rectangle. Starting at the wide end roll two times then fold in the sides. Continue rolling until the end, making sure the seal is on top. Use toothpicks to help hold the seam shut. Place roll on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining half.

Beat the 2 remaining eggs and generously brush the loaves.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour.
