Sausage bread is typically made by incorporating cooked sausage into bread dough before it is baked. The sausage can be mixed into the dough or laid in the center of the dough before it is rolled and baked. The type of sausage used can vary widely, from spicy Italian sausage to milder breakfast sausage. Some variations may also include additional ingredients such as cheese, onions, or peppers.
