2 (1 lb) loaves frozen white bread dough, thawed
1/2 lb mild pork sausage
1/2 lb hot pork sausage
1 1/2 cups diced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
3eggs
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (10 oz)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1 tsp garlic powder

Allow dough to rise until nearly doubled. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble sausage. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook and stir until the sausage is browned and vegetables are tender; drain. Cool.

Beat 1 egg; set aside. To sausage mixture, add 2 eggs, cheese and seasonings; mix well. Roll each loaf of dough into a 16 x 12 inch rectangle. Spread half of the sausage mixture on each loaf to within 1 inch of edge of each loaf. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting at the narrow end; seal edges. Place on a greased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes; brush with beaten egg. Bake 5-10 minutes more or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 2 loaves
