Easy Sausage Bread Food

SAUSAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high, stirring often with a wooden spoon to break into small pieces, until sausage is browned and thoroughly cooked, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Roll or stretch pizza dough into a 13- x 9-inch rectangle on a large piece of parchment paper or work surface. (If dough is too elastic, allow to stand at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes.)
• Spoon cheese spread onto prepared dough rectangle, and spread in an even layer over top, leaving a 1/2-inch border around all edges. Top cheese spread layer with an even layer of crumbled sausage, shredded cheese, and parsley. Starting at 1 long side, fold dough over in half so long ends meet, pinching edges together to seal. Place filled dough roll on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes, covering with aluminum foil after 20 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Let stand on pan 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, and cut bread using a bread knife.

PICNIC SAUSAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook and stir sausage in a skillet over medium heat until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Spread pizza dough evenly onto a 9x13-inch baking sheet; sprinkle with sausage and mozzarella cheese. Roll the dough around the sausage and mozzarella, using the method similar to rolling a cinnamon roll. Crimp the roll closed; place seam side down on baking sheet. Brush the roll with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

SAUSAGE BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, chili powder, black pepper, white pepper and bay leaves; set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil and add sausage. Sauté 1 minute, add spice mixture and cook until lightly browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Add onion, celery, bell pepper and jalapeño. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce and cook until liquid is almost evaporated, about 20 minutes. Stir in flour, add 2 tablespoons water, and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add scallions. Season with hot sauce and (if desired) additional salt to taste.
• To assemble: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out a single biscuit into a 3-inch disk. Holding disk in palm of your hand, place a heaping tablespoon of filling in center; lift edges to close dough around filling. Seal dough by twisting it, and place it with seam (twisted) side down on an ungreased nonstick baking sheet. Repeat to use all filling and all or most of the dough. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 20 minutes depending on type of dough used.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with non-stick foil, set aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet, add onions, salt, pepper and parsley. Cook onions until they are translucent, then add the garlic. Cook the onions until they are carmelized.
• Remove the onions to a bowl, leaving the extra butter in the pan.
• Put the sausage into pan and chop it into bite sized chunks. Cook the sausage until it is browned.
• Add the onions back to the pan with the sausage and cover with a lid. Simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. DO NOT let it burn.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350.
• Flour a surface and roll out one dough ball with a rolling pin until it is the size of a large pizza. Try not to let it get any thin spots or holes.
• When the sausage mixture is finished, use a slotted spoon to scoop half of it onto the dough and spread it evenly over the surface. You will save the other half for the second dough. Cover with a layer of half the shredded mozzarella.
• Roll the dough up like a cinnamon roll, but tuck in the ends like a burrito before you get to the end of the roll.
• Lay it with the flap down on the cookie sheet and brush with the egg white.
• Bake in the oven until golden brown, approximately 25-30 minutes. After baking, let the bread rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Repeat process for second loaf.
• Slice and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
