POST: Sausage Bread

I begin by buying two to three�sometimes more�packages of
sausage. I mix mild and hot according to my taste. I then
purchase the required number of frozen bread loaves. I use
Bridgeford, but have used other brands when I cannot find
this brand. I buy the three loaf pack. At one time I made
30 loaves.

Ingredients:
-2 to 3 lbs. sausage (we use Jimmy Dean�some mild and hot)
(less sausage if you are only making a few loaves).
-Several packages of frozen bread loaves
-a stick of butter, melted
-egg wash

Preparation:
Open packages of sausage and brown in skillet sprayed with
PAM. I use the cross shaped utensil (Kaye Ewing�s) to break
up sausage as it browns. When cooked, drain grease in
strainer. When cool, I crumble large pieces with my
fingers. I find that breaking the sausage into very fine
pieces makes a better loaf.

Clean counter and spray with Pam. Place frozen loaves on
counter to thaw. I also spray the tops of the loaves with
Pam. Melt butter in a small dish or pan. When loaf is
thawed, roll the bread loaf into a large rectangle. Brush
dough with melted butter using a pastry brush. Sprinkle
finely crumbled, browned sausage over dough. Roll up dough
as you would a jelly roll or cinnamon rolls. Press and seal
edges of rolled dough to hold sausage in loaf.

Spray baking sheet with Pam and place sausage roll in the
center. I curve the ends around sort of forming the letter
�S� or an infinity sign with the roll. Let loaf rise.
Brush with egg wash.

Pre-heat the oven to 375� and bake the loaf for 20 to 25
minutes until golden brown.
