Sausage-Stuffed Loaf

So, if you haven't noticed by now, I use sausage in a lot of things. I've found the Jimmy Dean regular sausage doesn't cause me any problems, but the flavored or spicy kinds make me flare. Try a few brands out and see which ones work for you.

Sausage-Stuffed Loaf
2 (1 pound) frozen bread dough
1 pound sausage
1 (10 ounce) package frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
4 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
1 t dried oregano
1/2 t garlic powder
2 T butter, cubed

Thaw bread dough and let rise until doubled. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage. Drain and place in a bowl. Add spinach, cheeses, oregano and garlic powder.

Roll the loaf into a 14" x 12" rectangle. Spread sausage mixture lengthwise down the center. Gently press the filling down and dot with cubed butter. Bring edges of dough to the center over the filling and pinch to seal. Place on cookie sheet seam side down. Brush with olive oil.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting.

NOTE: The original recipe makes 2 loaves. I just half it but was too lazy to write it halved on here. :)
