Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs, divided use
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • Marinara sauce, warmed, optional

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, one egg and Italian seasoning.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into an 18x6-in. rectangle. Spoon sausage mixture over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.
  3. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring. With scissors, cut from outside edge to two-thirds of the way toward center of ring at 1-in. intervals.
  4. Beat remaining egg; brush over dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  5. Bake at 350° for 28-32 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with marinara sauce if desired.
