Italian Sausage Bread
- 1 lb ground sweet Italian sausage (links are fine, just take them out of the casings)
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 medium onions, coarsely chopped (white or yellow)
- salt and pepper
- 4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 pizza dough, balls
- 1 egg white
- 2 cups marinara sauce (for dipping)
- 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.
