Sausage Spinach Bread with a couple of slices cut.

Such a fantastic party appetizer.

The bread cooks up wonderfully crispy and a little chewy so it tastes very much like a stromboli.

What Kind Of Sausage?

I use breakfast sausage (the kind in a tube) for this recipe, but you could use Italian sausage instead. I like to use spicy, but you can use regular.

Two loaves of Sausage Spinach Bread.

Type Of Dough

I use Bridgford Ready-Dough. It contains 2 frozen loaves in a package. You will need to thaw the dough before using. Follow the instructions for this on the package. It doesn’t take too terribly long to thaw at room temperature or you can place it in the refrigerator a day in advance.

    Sausage Spinach Bread Recipe Tips

    Be sure to squeeze all the water out of the spinach so the bread doesn’t get soggy.

    This bread tastes great on its own but you can also dip it in marinara sauce or pizza sauce.

    Can be served as a party food or goes great with a salad as a main meal.
