Start by stirring together some flour, yeast, and Italian seasoning. Add in melted butter, warm milk, with a little salt and sugar, and also an egg   Until you have a nice soft dough.

After your dough comes together and gets kneaded, place it in an oiled bowl to rise.   After it’s risen, divide it into 3 balls,

and then take each ball and roll it into a long snake and snip it into little pieces.

These little dough balls will get layered into the bread pan along with some cooked, crumbled Italian sausage (I use Italian turkey sausage)

A variety of cheeses (Fontina, Mozarella, and Parmesan) gives this recipe so much flavor.  

Layer all of that in there in alternating layers.  It seems like a ridiculous amount of cheese.  Just go with it.

When it bakes up, the bread and the sausage and the cheese all become one beautiful piece of deliciousness.

You can slice it into slices

Or pull it apart into chunks.

Serve it with pesto for dipping (it just keeps getting better!)

And instantly become the most popular person in the room.
