Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 frozen bread dough, thawed
1/2 lb italian sausage, browned
1 small onion, finely diced
2 clove garlic, diced
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 c cottage cheese, small curd
1/2 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg white, slightly beated
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten with 1 tbsp milk
8 oz tomato sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Thaw bread dough overnight. Preheat oven to 425°. After browning meat, add onion, garlic, tomato sauce and spices. Simmer 5 minutes. remove from heat and add the cheeses. Set aside to cool slightly while working with bread dough.
  • 2. Cut bread dough into eight pieces. roll each into a circle (I used an 8 inch). place 1/3 cup filling into each circle. Brush edges with egg white. fold over and press edges with fork to seal. cut or prick top to allow steam to escape. brush top with beaten egg yolk. Bake 12 minutes or until brown.
  • 3. To make this a southwestern recipe: Instead of Italian sausage use Mexican sausage or hamburger. Taco seasoning instead of oregano and basil. (Also you can add 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper if desired) 1 cup of Shredded Mexican cheese instead of mozzarella and cottage cheeses. Prepare as above
