Here’s a sausage bread recipe to write home about. This bread recipe uses beef sausage and Turkish Pastirma, however you could use various other meats in their place. I’ve heard of people using Italian sausages, salami, lamb – but today we’re going to stick with a classic beef sausage for this bread. This recipe calls for a package of bread mix, you can certainly substitute this for fresh bread or even one of my other bread recipes, however seeing as this recipe is already a little more complex than my previous ones, I decided to include an “Easy button”. Here is the extensive list of ingredients you will need, make sure you double check because it’s easy to forget something!
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of sausage (beef)
- 12 ounces of Turkish Pastirma (Either chopped into cubes, or slices like you would find on a pizza)
- ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 3 cups of mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 cups of cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of parsley
- 1 teaspoon of oregano
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- 1 teaspooon of onion flakes
- 1 package of bread roll mix
Got all that? Great, now here’s what you need to do with it:
- If you’re using a mixture for the bread, prepare it according to the instructions on the box.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet/frying pan, you will need to fry the beef sausages along with the pastirma. Do this until they are browned, and drain the fat. (Tip: Drain it into a can or other container that you can dispose of, it’s very bad for your sink to drain the fat into the sink.)
- Mix together the cheeses and meats in a large mixing bowl, along with 2 eggs and the spices / seasonings.
- Take the bread dough that you made in step 1, and divide it into two equal pieces. Take the first piece and flatten it with a rolling pin on your counter into a square or a rectangle. Now, add half of the mixture from step 5 on top of the dough, and roll this up into a log. Now, do this again with the remaining ingredients. The yield is two rolls of sausage bread.
- Place both of these rolls onto your baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both logs with the two remaining eggs after beating the eggs.
- Now, it’s oven time! Place the baking sheet into your preheated over and cook for about 1 hour. Start to keep an eye on things after about 45 minutes, just to make sure.
Now you’re all done and left with cheesy, meaty and delicious rolls of sausage bread. This Sausage Bread Recipe isn’t as complicated as it may sound once you get started, and you can just about feed an army with the end result!
