Stromboli Ring

K, let's begin our countdown to the Super Bowl with this one:
(12 servings)

1 lb. Johnsonville Mild Ground Italian Sausage (I am in the sausage "hood"!)
1&1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded Monterey Jack, Mozz, or Provolone*
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning or Johnny's Garlic Seasoning*, and add basil* (I met Johnny's Granddaughter)
1 loaf (1 lb.) frozen bread dough, thawed - find Sour Dough* if you can
1 T. FRESHLY grated Parmesan
Flat leaf Italian parsley*, finely chopped
Marinara sauce, warmed

In a large skillet, cook sausage over med. heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the Jack cheese, one egg, and Italian seasoning. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into an 18x6" rectangle. Spoon sausage mixture over dough to within 1/2" of edgers. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch sea to seal. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring. With scissors, cut from outside edge to two-thirds of the way toward the center of ring at 1" intervals. Beat remaining egg; brush over dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 mins. Bake at 350 for 28-32 mins. or until golden brown. Serve with marinara sauce and a SMILE!!
