Ingredients

• 1 pound ground sausage
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
4. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, and dried sage. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
6. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
7. Add the milk to the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together.
9. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
10. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
11. Starting with one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log shape.
12. Carefully transfer the log to a greased baking sheet and form it into a ring shape, connecting the ends together.
13. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the dough.
14. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
15. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
16. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
