Stuffed Italian Bread Loaves - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb frozen bread dough (need 3 loaves)
1 lb ground chuck
1 lb ground pork sausage (hot or mild)
6 ounces sliced pepperoni
8 ounces grated parmesan cheese
8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
6 green onions, chopped
5 mushrooms, sliced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup black olives, sliced
1/4 cup green olives, sliced
Preparation
-
Thaw the 3 loaves of bread.
Brown ground beef and sausage in skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Drain.
Add grated parmesan cheese. Mix well with meat.
Remove from heat and cool.
Add mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, black olives, green olives and mix well.
Cut each thawed bread loaf into thirds. Will have 9 sections.
Take one section of dough at a time and roll into rectangle on floured surface.
Spoon about 1 cup of filling onto rectangle of dough.
Top filling with 4 to 6 slices of pepperoni and 2 to 4 slices of mozzarella cheese. Your choice of how much to add.
Brush edges of bread dough with egg whites.
Fold 2 edges so they are overlapping. Crimp remaining edges with fork to seal.
Bake Stuffed Italian Loaves on rimmed, ungreased cookie pan at 350 degrees until browned.
Makes 9 loaves which after cooled can be individually wrapped in foil and frozen. Thaw in foil, reheat in 350 oven for about 20 - 25 minutes. I don't recommend reheating in microwave as bread may be tough.
