Ingredients
- 2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen white bread dough, thawed
- ½ pound mild pork sausage
- ½ pound spicy pork sausage
- 1.5 cups diced fresh mushrooms
- 3 green onions, sliced

Instructions
Baking the Bread
- Cover dough and let rise in warm place until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 350o. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage, mushrooms and onions over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes or until meat is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles. Drain and allow to cool 5 minutes. Stir in two eggs, cheese, and seasonings.
- Roll each loaf of dough into a 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread dough with sausage mixture to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up jell-roll style starting with a short side. Pinch seams very well to prevent unrolling while baking. Place loaves, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg. Brush evenly over loaves.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Slice and serve warm.
