Filipino Recipes

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons margarine and olive oil
• 1 loaf frozen bread dough (1 pound), thawed
• 3 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese
• 10 ounces cooked veal sausage, finely chopped
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 3 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

Procedure

In a small saucepan heat margarine and oil over medium heat until margarine is bubbly and mixture is hot; add garlic and saute until golden, about 1 minute.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees Celsius). On work surface, press bread dough into a 17 x 10-inch rectangle; using pastry brush, brush dough with half of the garlic mixture. Arrange provolone cheese over dough; top with sausage, then sprinkle with dough. Starting from wide end, roll dough jelly-roll fashion to enclose filling; pinch each narrow end to seal and tuck ends underneath loaf.

Transfer loaf, seam-side down, to nonstick baking sheet. Using pastry brush, brush remaining garlic mixture over bread; bake 30-35 minutes until golden brown. If bread is browning too quickly, cover with foil, Transfer bread to wire rack and let cool 15 minutes before serving. To server, cut into 16 equal slices.
