Anyone ever made a sausage-cheese bread?
Hi all I am looking for a sausage cheese bread recipe. I would like to make a loaf that contains a mix in of sun dried tomatoes, italian sausage and mabye some provalone or mozzerella cheese. If anyone has a recipe I would appreciate it.

Hi Erik,
There is a bread from Italy called Casatiello that sounds like it might be what your looking for. The sausage it usually calls for is salami, but I'm sure you could substitute fresh sausage of some kind if that's your preference. All the versions I've seen of it call for provolone, as well as a variety of different cheeses ranging from pecorino, parmigiano, to gruyere?? Sounds like a good bread to customize to your own liking. Here's a link to get you started. Good luck with it!

I've done a couple of things along those lines.

I also tried a savory braid along these lines (I can't find my post):

So... I think rather than use a recipe I'd just wing it. My suggestions would be to use an unsweet dough as the base -- though I've had Chinese Pork Buns on a sweet dough before and they aren't bad. Cook the sausage first and rehydrate the sun-dried tomatoes, either mix it in after needing or roll or fold it in when shaping and bake it like any other bread. Hopefully it'll turn out well.
Good luck!
Here's the recipe that I have. Wasn't sure if it was online or not.

Hi Erik
Have a look at this Pane Casereccio recipe on my blog:

It might be to your taste.
It's a splendid picnic loaf.
