Its that time of year again.....(recipes y'all)

[LadyFish]

I'm making my famous sausage bread for a party tonight.<br /><br />Basic white bread recipe or frozen dough (I prefer to make mine from scratch)<br /><br />1 pound cooked bulk hot italian sausage, if you can't find bulk, just slice the links and remove skin(I sometimes add pepperoni too)<br /><br />Fresh Mushrooms (I saute mine in butter and balsamic vinegar which gets really sweet when it reduces)<br /><br />2 cups of shredded cheese (a mixture of swiss, <br />mozarella and provalone) or whatever cheese you want but white easy melting cheese is the best<br /><br />I start by making a basic white bread recipe, let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and roll out into a large rectangle. Not to thin or your goodies will come out.<br /><br />Layer dough with sausage, cheeses, mushrooms, then roll using the submarine wrap technique. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet seam side down.<br /><br />Allow to rise another hour. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes. Grease the outside with real butter when the bread is still hot or skip this if you want it crusty.<br /><br />It's always a big hit. It's starting to smell mighty fine in here guys. <br /><br />oops, almost forgot. Use an eggwash on it before you put it in the oven for a golden brown bread. <br /> <br /><br />Link has a great recipe, a bit different than mine and I believe Boomyal does too.<br /><br />Post your favorite holiday recipes here!

LF, That sounds delicious... curious, what is the submarine wrap technique?

Sean, after you've rolled out your dough and put the stuffing on it, begin to roll, get about halfway through it, fold the sides in and continue to roll the rest of it up. Then place it seam side down on the cookie sheet. This way none of the goodies leak out while its baking.<br /><br />Try it, you'll be sure to impress someone. Promise.

Posted by DJ:<br />Here's FISKPR's Sausage Bread.<br /><br />Sausage Bread.<br /><br />Here is the requested sausage brunch loaf. really easy to make and when its baking the smells drive ya nuts. no matter where she has brought this there is always requests to bring it next time. In fact she has to make it for christmas eve and new years eve party up at the lake. this is one of the few things my wife can cook. usually i do all the cooking but she does make a killer lasagna too. personally i think she pretends not to know how to cook just so i do it.<br /><br />1 lb loaf frozen white bread<br />1 lb pork sausage. (i like it with jimmy deans hot, but when she makes it for other people she just uses the regular jimmy dean breakfast sausage)<br />11/2 cup Mozzarella cheese<br />1/2 tsp italian seasoning or 1/4 tsp each basil & oregano<br />two eggs<br />Defrost bread and roll into an 18 x6 rectangle. cook sausage and cool. Mix cheese, herbs and 1 egg into sausage. place in center of bread and pinch together. bend into shape of circle and pinch ends together. she uses a round cake pan and sprays it with pam first. beat second egg and brush on bread. cut slites in the bread let rise 2 hours then bake at 325 degrees about 25 minutes. <br />we have add different ingreideints for a change such as green peppers. onion, mushrooms. about the only one i really liked was the mushrooms and onions. usually just make according to the recipe.<br />----------------------------------<br />What I had to say about it:<br /><br />This was soooo good! and easy! <br />First I had never worked with dough or baked anything like this before.<br /><br />I made two. One for our family dinner and one for fishing partners. 5 separate families.(sp)<br /><br />First one took forever to roll out the dough! Almost a hour!<br />Second one I had figured out (By myself) to use flower on the wax paper first! And took a only a couple minutes! <br /><br />Don't use Jimmy Deans anything but agree with FISKPR that for just me and herself, hot and spicey would be the way to go. But like his wife, I took the safe route and just used reg sausage. <br /><br />Did add onions and black pepper to taste. Very mild for my taste but still very very good.<br /><br />After brushing with the egg I sprinkled Toasted Sesame Seeds on just for looks! What came out of the oven 25 minutes later was something to behold! Two perfect Golden brown round loaves of bread with the white seeds making it look like a pro cooked it! And the smell! Then the taste!<br /><br />I took one hot out of the oven over to my fishing partners place maybe a 2 minute drive away and by the time I got back they had already called Mrs.Link telling her I had to email the the reciepe! Same with our family, everyone wanted it. <br />They may not know what/or who a FISKPR is, but they know its your reciepe! <br /><br />Side note: Another way to thaw the one pound loaf is to (if your microwave has Auto Defrost)<br />Place one in it and set it for 1/2 pound or .5 and it will come out perfect. Ready to roll in about 15 minutes of sitting on the counter.<br /><br />Did I mention that this was GREAT ? <br />As my MIL said, this is a full meal deal in it's self!<br />-----------------------------------<br />Now lets see if I can get fancey and find a pic.<br /><br />

Sounds simple and good. When getting a reciepe from someone and not a book I like to try it first exactly as given. To report back and usually say thank you <br />Afterwards I'll dotor to taste. <br /><br />I'm sure Apple Jack is a alcohol but could you give some more details.<br /><br />Link

Re: Its that time of year again.....(recipes y'all)

LF & Others....<br /><br />Here is a simple Italian Pie recipe (normally served around Easter but any holiday will do) We had one on Thanksgiving.<br /><br />3/4 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for garnish <br />3 large eggs <br />2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract <br />1 tablespoon orange zest <br />1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese <br />1/2 cup cooked short-grained rice <br />1/3 cup toasted pine nuts <br />6 sheets fresh phyllo sheets or frozen, thawed <br />3/4 stick (3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted<br /><br />Blend 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, eggs, vanilla, orange zest and ricotta in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the rice and pine nuts. Set the ricotta mixture aside. <br />Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. <br /><br />Lightly butter a 9-inch glass pie dish. Lay 1 phyllo sheet over the bottom and up the sides of the dish, allowing the phyllo to hang over the sides. Brush the phyllo with the melted butter. Top with a second sheet of phyllo dough, laying it in the opposite direction as the first phyllo sheet. Continue layering the remaining sheets of phyllo sheets, alternating after each layer and buttering each sheet. Spoon the ricotta mixture into the dish. Fold the overhanging phyllo dough over the top of the filling to enclose it completely. Brush completely with melted butter. <br /><br />Bake the pie until the phyllo is golden brown and the filling is set, about 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool completely. Sift powdered sugar over the pie and serve.<br /><br />Warning ---- addictive!!
