Breakfast Sausage Bread

It’s been awhile since I’ve made this family favorite so thought I’d surprise my son with it this morning. He told me it’s one of his favorite things I make for breakfast. Enjoy!

2 loaves (1 lb each) frozen white bread dough, thawed
1/2 lb mild pork sausage
1/2 lb hot pork sausage
1 1/2 cups diced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups (10 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tps dried rosemary, crushed
1 tsp garlic powder

Allow dough to rise until nearly doubled. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble sausage. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook and stir until the sausage is browned and vegetables are tender, drain. Cool. Beat 1 egg; set aside. To sausage mixture, add 2 eggs, cheese and seasonings; mix well. Roll each loaf of dough into a 16 inch by 12 inch rectangle. Spread half the sausage mixture on each loaf to within 1 inch of edges. Roll jelly-roll style, starting at a narrow end, seal edges. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes; brush with beaten egg. Bake 5-10 minutes more or until golden brown. Serve warm.
