Ingredients Needed

To make a delicious sausage bread, you will need the following ingredients:

• Dough:

• 4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons (10 g) salt

• 2 teaspoons (10 g) sugar

• 2 1/4 teaspoons (10 g, 1 packet) active dry yeast

• 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) warm water

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Filling:

• 10.5 oz (300 g) calabresa sausage (Brazilian cured pork sausage)

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 small green bell pepper, chopped

• 1 small red bell pepper, chopped

• Chopped fresh green herbs (parsley and scallions) to taste

• 1 cup shredded (100 g) mozzarella cheese

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparing the Dough

The first step to prepare the sausage bread recipe is to make the dough itself with the following steps:

• Sift the flour: This ensures the dough turns out lighter and lump-free. Set aside.
• Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix the active dry yeast with the sugar and a little warm water. Let rest for about 10 minutes until foam forms.
• Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the sifted flour with the salt.
• Add the liquids: Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the activated yeast, the olive oil and the remaining warm water little by little. Mix well until a smooth dough forms.
• Knead the dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Let the dough rest: Place the dough in a bowl greased with olive oil, cover with a damp cloth and let rest for approximately 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Filling and Assembly

With the dough ready, it is time to prepare the filling and assemble the bread.

• Prepare the filling:

• Remove the casing from the sausages and chop into small pieces.

• In the same pan, add the onion, garlic and bell peppers and saute until golden.

• Add the chopped sausage and keep sauteing until well cooked.

• Finish with fresh green herbs to taste and let the filling cool.

• Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a rectangle about 0.4 in (1 cm) thick.

• Spread the filling: Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving the edges free.

• Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the filling.

• Roll up the dough: Starting from the longer side of the rectangle, roll up the dough carefully like a roulade.

• Seal the edges: Press the ends of the roll firmly to seal the dough and keep the filling from escaping during baking.

• Cut the bread: With a sharp knife, cut the stuffed dough roll into slices about 0.8 in (2 cm) thick.

• Arrange in the pan: Arrange the slices in a pan greased with olive oil, leaving space between them so they can rise.

Baking the Bread

The last step is to bake the sausage bread in the oven:

• Preheat the oven: Turn on the oven and set the temperature to 350°F (180°C).
• Let the dough rise again: Cover the pan with the sausage bread slices with a damp cloth and let rest for another 30 minutes so they rise a little more.
• Bake the bread: Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until golden and well baked.
• Check for doneness: To make sure the bread is well baked, check that the base of the slices is firm and golden.

Your sausage bread is ready to serve! Enjoy!
