Recipe

Prepare hot mix according to directions, after kneading, divide dough into 2 portions; cover and let rest 5 minutes.

Grease large baking sheet; set aside

In a large bowl, stir together sausage, spinach, provolone, vegetables, and Parmesan.

On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion of the dough into a 12x10" rectangle. Spread the filling to within 1" on the edges of the dough. Start with one of the long ends, and roll up. Moisten and pinch edges to seal. Repeat with the 2nd piece of dough.

Place loaves, seam side down, on greased baking sheet. Combines egg white and water, and brush on loaves, spinkle with sesame seeds. Cover and let rise until nearly double, about 30-40 minutes.

Bake in a 375º oven for 30 minutes. COver with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking, if necessary, to prevent over-browning. Remove from baking sheet, let cool slightly, slice and serve warm.

Make ahead tip: Thaw spinach overnight in the fridge, cook and drain sausage one day ahead and chill in a covered container.

To avoid soggy bread, be sure sausage, spinach and veggies are thoroughly drained.
