Frans van Rensburg SAUSAGE BREAD: [SOUPBELLY.COM] [makes 1 loaf] Ingredients: 1kg Italian sausage 8 oz. cubed mozzarella cheese 2 egg whites and 1 egg yolk, beaten 1 pound pizza dough 1 egg yolk (for brushing on top of dough), beaten 1/4 tsp. oregano salt & pepper Directions: 1) Removing sausage out of casing if necessary. Cook sausage until browned, crumbling into small bits. Drain grease, set aside to cool. In a bowl, combine sausage, cubed mozzarella, 2 egg whites and 1 egg yolk. Add oregano, salt & pepper. 2) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 3) On a greased baking sheet, roll the dough out into a rectangle, as large as you can make it without creating holes or ripping it. Spread the sausage mixture on the surface but keeping a 1 inch border clear. Carefully roll the dough like a jelly roll and pinch the edges shut, and place seam side down on the baking sheet. Don’t panic if there are holes or you ripped multiple tears (see my disastrous looking picture below). Brush top of loaf with egg yolk mixture. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cut slices with a bread knife, and serve warm or at room temperature. Removing sausage out of casing if necessary. Cook sausage until browned, crumbling into small bits.

But I put it into the oven anyway (can’t go to waste right?) Most of the holes ended up closing by themselves and the worst that happened was all the extra liquid inside the roll leaked out. No biggie. I won’t freak out next time because this is what came out:
