• Sausage – One pound of spicy or mild sausage. I used breakfast sausage, but you can use Italian sausage.
• Dough – One tube of classic refrigerated pizza dough i.e. Pillsbury or a similar brand that you enjoy.
• Onion – Finely diced onion enhances the flavor of the sausage.
• Cream Cheese – One 8 ounce container of chive and onion cream cheese adds richness.

• Seasonings – Garlic salt and onion powder.
• Butter – Melted butter to brush the outside of the dough before baking.
• Garnish – Chopped fresh parsley for garnishing.

How to Make the BEST Sausage Bread Recipe

• Heat Oven and Prepare Pan – Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line with a silicone baking mat.
• Brown Sausage – Cook the sausage and diced onion with 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain grease from pan.
• Press Dough – Press or roll the pizza dough to roughly a 16×13-inch rectangle.
• Spread Dough with Cream Cheese – Spread softened cream cheese from end to end.
• Sausage and Cheese – Arrange crumbled sausage mixture on top of the cream cheese and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Roll the Dough – Begin to roll from the widest side of the pizza dough jelly roll style, ending seam side down. Transfer the bread to the prepared pan.
• Brush with Butter – Brush the top and sides with butter sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and seasonings.
• Oven – Bake per the recipe until golden brown.
• Serve – Let stand 5 minutes then cut into 1-inch slices and serve.

Tips for Making Sausage Bread

• Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need: Large skillet, sharp knife and cutting board, measuring spoons, small bowl, pastry brush, offset icing spatula, baking sheet, silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Pizza Dough: Refrigerated pizza dough makes the preparation super simple, plus it’s designed to bake all the way through.
• Make-Ahead Tip: You can cook the sausage one day in advance. Store the cooked sausage in an airtight container in the fridge for easy assembling just before baking.
• How to Serve Sausage Bread: You can enjoy this for breakfast with country gravy and eggs, as an appetizer with warm pizza sauce on the side for dipping or as an entree with a seven layer salad.

Recipe Variations

• Sausage: You can use spicy breakfast sausage, andouille sausage, sweet Italian sausage or chorizo in this sausage bread recipe. If using Italian sausage, layer with pepperoni for an Italian twist.
• Pizza Dough: You can use homemade pizza dough in place of refrigerated dough. Please note, you will need to lengthen the bake time so it will bake all the way through. See how to make your own Homemade Pizza Dough.
• Seasonings: You can use garlic powder in place of garlic salt or add a sprinkle of dried Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes for spice. 
• Pizza Sauce: If you choose to use Italian sausage, you could add a light drizzle of pizza sauce or marinara sauce. 
• Cheese: You may opt to use cheddar cheese, provolone cheese or pepper jack cheese for spice.
