How to Make Stuffed Braided Loaf
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Remove from heat and stir in the mozzarella cheese and eggs. Set aside to cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the bread dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the dough.
- Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Pinch the seam to seal. Cut the log in half lengthwise, but not all the way through.
- Braid the two halves together. Place the braided loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the loaf with the milk. Bake for 50 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
