  1-2 hrs

ingredients

3/4 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 packages rapid rise yeast
2/3 cup hot water (125 to 130 degrees F)
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon cold water
instant minced onion

directions

In large skillet, over medium-high heat, brown sausage and cook pepper until done, stirring occasionally to break up meat. Remove from heat; pour off drippings. Set aside.

Meanwhile, set aside 1 cup flour. In large bowl, mix remaining flour, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning and rapid rise yeast. Stir hot water and margarine or butter into dry mixture. Mix in 1 egg and only enough reserved flour to make soft dough.

On lightly floured surface, knead 4 minutes. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each into 14 x 4-inch strip. Stir cheese into sausage mixture; spoon 1/3 mixture down center of each strip.

Pinch long edges together to form 14-inch ropes; seal ends. Braid ropes together, seal ends. Place on greased baking sheet; cover.

Place large shallow pan on counter, half-fill with boiling water. Place baking sheet over pan; let dough rise 15 minutes.

Beat remaining egg with cold water; brush on loaf. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes or until done. During last 2 minutes of baking, brush again with egg mixture; sprinkle with instant minced onion.

Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers; reheat to serve.
