Serves/Makes: 16
Ready in: 1-2 hrs
- 3/4 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
- 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 packages rapid rise yeast
- 2/3 cup hot water (125 to 130 degrees F)
- 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened
- 2 eggs (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- instant minced onion
In large skillet, over medium-high heat, brown sausage and cook pepper until done, stirring occasionally to break up meat. Remove from heat; pour off drippings. Set aside. Meanwhile, set aside 1 cup flour. In large bowl, mix remaining flour, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning and rapid rise yeast. Stir hot water and margarine or butter into dry mixture. Mix in 1 egg and only enough reserved flour to make soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead 4 minutes. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each into 14 x 4-inch strip. Stir cheese into sausage mixture; spoon 1/3 mixture down center of each strip. Pinch long edges together to form 14-inch ropes; seal ends. Braid ropes together, seal ends. Place on greased baking sheet; cover. Place large shallow pan on counter, half-fill with boiling water. Place baking sheet over pan; let dough rise 15 minutes. Beat remaining egg with cold water; brush on loaf. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes or until done. During last 2 minutes of baking, brush again with egg mixture; sprinkle with instant minced onion. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers; reheat to serve.
