Mozzarella Granny White

Mozzarella Granny White

Ingredients:
2 lbs ground sausage
3 eggs
1 tsp. basil
12 oz. grated Mozzarella cheese
6 cups flour
2 tbs. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 package Rapid rise yeast
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
2 tbs. margarine or butter
2 tbs. grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Brown sausage, drain fat and transfer to a bowl. After sausage has
cooled, mix in the grated mozzarella cheese, basil, and 2 eggs and
set aside. In another bowl, mix in 5 cups of flour, the sugar,
salt, and yeast. In a saucepan, heat the milk, water, and margarine
to about 120−130 F. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix
well until dough forms. Mix in the reserved cup of flour and transfer
the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 − 8 minutes
adding sprinkles of flour to keep the dough from sticking.
When kneading is through, let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.

This is important to do otherwise, the dough will have a tendency
to shrink back as you roll it out. After the rest, divide the dough
in half and roll each piece into a rectangle about 16 X 10 inches.
Spoon out the filling onto the center third portion of each piece(the
long length). Next fold over one third over the filling then the
other third and pinch the seems together tightly. Place each loaf
onto a greased baking sheet in a semicircle shape. Make slashes
across the top of the loaves for the entire length and brush with
the remaining egg, beaten, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover each loaf with wax paper and let rise in a warm draft free
area for about 40 − 45 minutes. Place in a 375 degree oven for 25
− 30 minutes until golden brown and transfer to a wire rack to cool
slightly before serving.
