Sausage bread is one of my husband’s favorites. One that he actually requests. This is kind of a big thing because he is a pretty laid back and doesn’t usually care what I make. He eats it all.

Our bread is a twist on one that our friends made for us ten years ago. They shared their technique, and we’ve been making it ever since. I’ve made it for Christmas morning the past couple of years, and it’s a nice twist on traditional cinnamon or orange sweet roll recipes.

Savory Sausage Bread

Simply start out with a batch of your favorite pizza dough (mine is shared below). Roll it out and spread with butter. Then sprinkle with cooked sausage, mozzarella cheese, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Roll up and bake until a golden brown. This is how I make mine, but there are SO MANY ways that you can customize this bread.

Favorite Sausages Flavors

This bread can be made using any kind of ground sausage you’d like. We’ve tried sage, mild, and spicy. All are delicious, but mild is my favorite.

Best Dough for Sausage Bread

You can use any pizza dough that you’d like, but this is a favorite of ours and turns out perfect every time.

Easy Variations for This savorite bread

  • Drizzle in sriracha sauce before rolling up the bread if you really want to bring the heat.
  • Sprinkle in parmesan cheese before rolling up.
  • Add chopped bell peppers and onions.
  • Brush with garlic butter after the bread comes out of the oven.

A few bread making tips:

WHAT IS THE BEST KIND OF FLOUR TO USE?

I always use bread flour or all purpose. Honestly, I can’t tell a difference between the two.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PROOF YEAST?

I like putting 1/2 c. of the warm water into a small bowl with the yeast and 1 tsp. of sugar. Give it a stir. Place a small plate on top and let it sit for 5 minutes. When you go to add the rest of the ingredients make sure to subtract the 1/2 c. of water and 1 tsp. of sugar that you already used for the yeast proofing.

CAN YOU USE INSTANT AND DRY ACTIVE YEAST INTERCHANGEABLY?

For the most part I use whatever yeast is available. Most of the time it’s the instant yeast that comes in a large package from Sam’s Club. When I use dry active yeast I add 10-15 minutest to the rise time. Technically you do not need to proof instant yeast, only dry active yeast, but I’ve gotten so used to proofing my yeast that I proof it for every recipe.

WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO LET THE DOUGH RISE?

A warm place is the perfect place for yeast to do its thing. Normally I preheat my oven for 60 seconds then shut the heat off. Then I place my bowl of dough with a damp cloth covering it inside my oven. For quick breads like this that only rise for 25 minutes I’ll simply leave the dough on the floured surface and cover with a damp dish cloth.

This cheese bread is another deliciuos savory bread recipe.

This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.
