This is the kind of recipe that disappears fast around here. It’s simple, cozy, and works whether you’re feeding family on a weekend morning or putting something special on the table for holidays.

Ingredients

1 loaf frozen bread dough (or fresh bread dough if you have it)

1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, your call)

1 large egg

1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby Jack, or mozzarella — or mix them)

Fresh basil or other herbs (optional but adds brightness)

Salt, pepper, and any favorite seasoning blends

Instructions

Prep the Dough

  • If using frozen dough, place it on a greased baking sheet or in a loaf pan, cover lightly, and let it rise overnight.
  • If using fresh dough, just keep it at room temp until pliable.

Cook the Filling

  •  In a skillet, brown the sausage until fully cooked.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and herbs if you’d like.

Assemble the Bread

  • Roll the dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Mix the sausage, cheese and egg together in a bowl
  • Spread the mixture evenly across the bread leaving a 1” border uncovered.
  • Sprinkle with fresh basil or your favorite seasoning.

Roll It Up

  • Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  • Pinch the ends and tuck under, then place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.

Bake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and baked through.

Serve

  • Let it cool for 5–10 minutes, then slice into thick rounds.
