Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 60 grams Whey protein powder, unflavored
• 10 grams Instant yeast
• 15 grams Sugar
• 10 grams Salt
• 300 milliliters Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 30 milliliters Olive oil
• 250 grams Ground sausage
• 100 grams Chopped onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 150 grams Grated cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the sausage filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Set aside to cool.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches.

Step 9

Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Carefully roll the dough up from one of the long edges into a tight log, pinching the seams to seal.

Step 11

Place the rolled dough seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

Bake the loaf for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown and sounding hollow when tapped.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
