Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package Johnsonville® All Natural Mild Ground Italian Sausage
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, well drained and sliced
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

Directions

  1. In a skillet, brown sausage until no longer pink; drain.
