Italian Sausage Bread

First: I had trouble with this recipe. Some authors never test their recipes. I fixed the problems and the recipe on my web site is correct. Because of the problems, I listed the ingredients below.
This rustic bread reminds me of my Italian grandmother's pepperoni bread. It is delicious when buttered and toasted under the broiler. It is as easy to make as any bread, with a few extra steps to incorporate the Italian sausages.
See the recipe on my web site.
www.white-trash-cooking.com/r...
½ pound (227g) sweet Italian sausages preferably without fennel seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the “sponge”
3 packages (¾ oz/21g) active dry yeast, about 7 teaspoons
½ cup (120ml) warm water
½ cup (2½ oz /71g) all-purpose flour
For the dough (second rise)
5 cups (27½ oz/780g) all-purpose flour
2 and 1/8 cups (500ml/g) water
½ teaspoon table salt (¾ teaspoon kosher)
4 or 5 fresh sage leaves, torn in thirds
2 teaspoons olive oil or parchment paper
Optional: 4 oz/113g mozzarella cheese
As I said in the video, I also have a recipe and video for pepperoni bread. It's here:

Thanks Priscilla. For 72, I have very little to complain about. One doctor said I'd probably live to be 100. I hope I can still make videos then. -Dennis

It was just "okay" after finishing baking. You took it to the next level with the butter and broiler. Looks awesome.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm about to start another video, using the bread to make bruschetta. If all goes well, it will be on KZbin soon. -Dennis

[@madamem7856]

Dennis, it's so great to see you back with a new video. The bread looks fabulous! Coincidentally I just bought some mild Italian sausages when getting my groceries, so I'd now like to try this bread. I still follow your vlog, and I am glad you continue to do well!

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thank you Mea. The bread turned out well, but as Jake commented, it would have been better with double the sausage. As for me, I'm doing well enough to still enjoy life. -Dennis

Well hi there. Good to see you.

Thank you Angela. -Dennis

[@50hellkat2]

Good to see you Dennis. Great video. I was wondering if the quality of the bread would be effected if you cooked the sausage links and then cut them lengthwise and lined them in strips along the length of the dough or would that make it too heavy?

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Thanks for the positive feedback. I doubt the weight would affect the dough - it's the same amount of sausage meat. However, if done right it would probably improve the distribution. Thanks for question. -Dennis

Hi I saw your video well I don't have Italian sausage so I will use regular sausage I will let you know how it goes.

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

Hi Thomas. Thanks for the comment. If I can make a suggestion, try making pepperoni bread instead. I think it's much better. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4Gsk3-AabmqsJI Enjoy. -Dennis

[@jakematic]

Halve dough, double sausage 😁

[@MobileHomeGourmet]

You nailed it Jake. The author obviously never tested the recipe. I'd do as you say, halve the dough and double the sausage. -Dennis
