Pizza Bread
- 2 loaves frozen white bread dough
- 1 lb ground sausage (I like hot)
- 1 egg
- 1 12 teaspoons ground oregano
- 2 cups pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
- Set the bread dough on a plate and loosely cover with plastic wrap so the edges won't dry out.
- Let it thaw out for about 4-6 hours or until it is no longer frozen.
- I just set it out before I leave for school.
- If I know I'm going to be gone for quite awhile I let it thaw in the fridge to slow down the thawing a little.
- It should rise up a bit.
- When your dough is looking like it is ready and has rose a bit, you should brown the sausage then drain it.
- Set aside.
- Next, beat your egg and oregano together for about 20 seconds with a fork.
- Set aside.
- Now, on a floured surface, roll out your first dough, with a rolling pin, into a rectangle--about 7 by 12 inches (give or take).
- Brush dough with a little less than half of the egg mixture.
- Then spread on half the meat and then half the cheese.
- Start on a long end of the rectangle and roll it up.
- It should be a long log shape, like cinnamon rolls before you slice them up.
- Pinch the edge and the ends shut.
- Brush a little bit more of the egg mixture on top of the loaf (edge side down).
- Set aside to rise for about 15 minutes and repeat process with the second loaf.
- Grease a cookie sheet just where you are going to set the loaf.
- I can usually only fit one a cookie sheet in a diagonal direction because they rise even more when they cook.
- Place a loaf on the greased cookie sheet and cook in preheated 325 degree oven for 15-25 minutes or until a golden brown color.
- Repeat for second loaf.
- Let cool a few minutes then slice it up as you serve it.
- Leftovers store well in a ziplock bags in the fridge.
- You can also make them ahead and freeze them.
