Directions
Italian Sausage Bread,This is an appetizer that my husband’s Italian grandmother used to make when he was a kid. When we married, he made it for my family at the holidays and now it’s our most requested dish. It’s so easy and everyone will think you slaved over it. This recipe makes two loaves, and trust me, you’ll want to make both. Grandma Tallini makes her own bread dough of course, and you can too, but I find pizza dough from the local pizzeria or from the supermarket deli works just as good and saves me a lot of time. Same thing goes for the marinara.,How do I print the recipe from my phone?,This is one of my favorite things from the holidays in Connecticut. My favorite variation is sausage and spinach, and I like to make it with a softer dough. I divide the dough for two loaves into six pieces, roll as directed, then braid three pieces per loaf like you would challah. I might switch it up and do a loaf w/one part of the braid being sausage, one spinach & cheese, and one just cheese. (How good does that sound?!) I’m a Texan girl, and tamales are king during the Christmas/New Year season, but mannnnn, do I ever love this bread! Thanks for your recipe!
