Step 1

Cover dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook sausage, mushrooms, and onion over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes or until the sausage is no longer pink, breaking up sausage into crumbles. Drain. Transfer to a bowl; cool.

Step 3

Stir in two eggs, cheese, and seasonings. Roll each loaf of dough into a 16x12-in. rectangle.

Step 4

Spread half of the sausage mixture over each rectangle to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal. Place rolls on a greased baking sheet.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg. Brush over the tops of the rolls. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Step 6

Freeze option: Securely wrap and freeze in foil and place in a resealable plastic bag. To use, place foil-wrapped loaf on a baking sheet; bake at 450°F for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Carefully remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer.
