Good to Know About Sausage Pull Apart
This is a Sunday dish for a table of eight, or the thing to put out at a party. A loaf of bread with sausage in every piece is hard to improve on for a hungry crowd.
The filling is cooked sausage, sliced thin, with cheddar and a spoonful of mustard. Use sausages that are already cooked, because the bread only bakes for 25 minutes and raw meat would not be safe in that time. Slice the sausage thin so it fits inside the dough.
Flatten each piece of dough, put a slice of sausage and a little cheese in the middle, and pinch it closed. Seal the seams well, or the cheese leaks.
Pack the balls in a loaf tin, brush with butter and bake at 190°C for 25 minutes. If your oven runs hot, check at 20 minutes. The loaf is done when it is deep gold and the cheese is bubbling in the gaps.
