2 - one lb. loaves frozen white bread dough, thawed
1/2 lb. Jones No-Sugar Pork Sausage Roll
1/2 lb. bulk spicy pork sausage
1 1/2 c. diced fresh mushrooms
1/2 c. chopped onion
3 large eggs, divided
2 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 t. dried basil
1 t. dried parsley flakes
1 t. dried rosemary, crushed
1 t. garlic powder
Cover dough; let rise in a warm place until doubled.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking sheet.
In a large skillet, cook sausage, mushrooms and onion over medium-high heat, 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain. Transfer to a bowl; cool.
Stir in 2 eggs, cheese and seasonings. Roll each loaf of dough into a 16 x 12 inch rectangle. Spread half of the sausage mixture over each rectangle, to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting on a short side; pinch seams to seal. Place on prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk remaining egg; brush over tops. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm.
2 loaves, 16 slices per loaf or 32 servings.
Freeze option: Securely wrap and freeze cooked and cooled loaves in aluminum foil; place in resealable plastic freezer bags.
To use, place foil-wrapped loaf on a greased baking sheet and reheat in a 450 degree oven 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Carefully remove foil; return to oven a few minutes longer, until crust is crisp.
