Cheesy Sausage Bread image

This fun and hearty pull-apart bread is prime game-day food.

Provided by BHG Test Kitchen

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounce bulk Italian sausage
0.25 cup finely chopped onion
3.25 - 3.75 cup all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1 cup milk
0.333 cup butter
0.25 cup sugar
0.75 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1.5 cup shredded fontina cheese (6 ounces)
1.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)
0.5 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese (2 ounces)
1 cup basil pesto

Steps:

  • In a large skillet cook sausage and onion over medium-high heat until meat is brown, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Drain off fat. Cover and chill sausage mixture until needed.
  • In a large mixing bowl stir together 1 1/4 cups of the flour, the yeast, and Italian seasoning. In a medium saucepan heat and stir milk, butter, sugar, and salt just until warm (120°F to 130°F) and butter almost melts. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; add egg. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour).
  • Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in thirds. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Line two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl combine sausage mixture, fontina cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese; set aside.
  • Roll each portion of dough into a 30-inch-long rope. Cut ropes into 1-inch pieces. Divide one-third of the pieces between the prepared loaf pans. Divide one-third of the cheese mixture between pans. Repeat layers two more times.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden. Cool in pans on wire racks for 5 minutes. Remove loaves from pans; peel off parchment paper. Serve warm with pesto.

SPICY ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND CHEESE BREAD



Spicy Italian Sausage and Cheese Bread image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf, about 14 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 recipe Basic Pizza Dough, recipe follows, or storebought refrigerated pizza dough from a can or tube
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound mild Italian sausage, remove from the casings
1 cup diced yellow onions
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 egg plus 2 teaspoons water, beaten together
1 cup warm (110 degrees F) water
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups bleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degree F, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cornmeal onto a large baking sheet pan.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and no pink is left, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the basil and parsley, stirring to combine. Cool the sausage mixture completely.
  • Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of cornmeal onto a lightly floured surface and place the pizza dough on top of the cornmeal. Roll the dough into a 10 by 14-inch rectangle. Spread the cooled sausage mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the sausage. Brush the 1-inch border of the dough with the egg wash. Starting at a long end, roll the dough, jelly roll-style, into a log shape, pinching the edges closed as you roll. Place the bread, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top of the bread with the remaining egg wash.
  • Bake the sausage bread for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow bread to stand 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. To serve, slice the bread into 1-inch pieces and serve warm.
  • In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 tablespoon oil and stir to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until all the flour is incorporated but the dough is still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Use as directed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Use a high-quality sausage, such as a spicy Italian sausage or a mild breakfast sausage. This will give your loaf a lot of flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Be gentle when mixing the ingredients together.
  • Use a loaf pan that is the right size: The meatloaf mixture should fill the loaf pan about 3/4 of the way full. If the pan is too big, the meatloaf will be too thin and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf cooks evenly and doesn't dry out.
  • Let the meatloaf cool before slicing: This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Cheesy sausage loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
