Great bread! I have a 6-qt KitchenAid mixer and mixing the entire recipe is a bit for it to handle. I now just cut the recipe in half. I have frozen the dough after the first rising and shaping it into loaves. It does take about 10-12 hours for it to thaw and rise before baking, but it comes out beautifully and taste great.

I made this for a brunch shower. The ladies liked the salad and I had several requests for the recipe. I used the acini di pepe pasta and I think that made a difference. I had to tell them that there was pasta in there. I don't know that I would have liked this with macaroni noodles. The salad reminded me very much of an ambrosia salad. It was sweet, cool, and refreshing. I think toasted coconut or toasted slivered almonds would be a great garnish.

I made these for a brunch baby shower - I made four batches of this recipe and ended up with ~190 sausage balls. I used "hot" sausage (not cooked) and I shredded my own extra sharp cheese in a food processor. I followed the recommendation of another reviewer who suggested mixing the sausage & the bisquick together in a kitchen-aid stand mixer with the dough hook and then add in the cheese. It worked out great!
