Sausage bread is typically made from pizza dough and includes Italian sausage, mozzarella cheese (or a similar substitute cheese) and other ingredients such as mushrooms, onions, other vegetables, and various herbs, spices and sauces depending on the recipe. If dough is used, the sausage is usually crumbled or cut, and is baked, along with the cheese inside a long piece of rolled pizza dough."WAFB Channel 9 http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=3618416 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120219170223/http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=3618416 |date=2012-02-19 }} Beth Hensperger's The Bread Bible recipe suggests putting the ingredients on a rectangle of dough and lengthwise jelly-roll-style to create a layered sausage bread.{{Cite book |last=Hensperger |first=Beth |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dvwGDlfoB9oC&pg=PA195&dq=sausage+bread |title=The Bread Bible: 300 Favorite Recipes |date=2004-10-14 |publisher=Chronicle Books |isbn=978-0-8118-4526-7 |language=en}}
