Sausage Bread

2  pkgs  dry yeast
2  cups  warm water
1/2  cup  sugar
7  cups  flour
1/4  cup  shortening
2  tsp  salt
2  eggs, beaten
2  lbs  bulk sausage, cooked, drained, and rinsed
1  lb  Mozzarella cheese, grated
5  Tbs  fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2  eggs, beaten
1  egg, beaten, optional
1 - 2  Tbs  parsley flakes

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs, half of the flour, shortening, and salt. Work in remaining flour. Cover with towel and place in a warm spot to raise until doubled (takes about 2 hours).

Roll out to about 8x10-inches, on a floured countertop.

Mix together, cheeses, eggs, and parsley. Spread on top of dough, keeping 1-inch away from all edges. Sprinkle cooked sausage over all. Roll up along the long edge side, tucking in the ends as you go. Put on a greased pan. Brush top with beaten egg (optional).

Bake @350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Goes great with spaghetti.
