For Sausage Bread:
- Start by frying the Italian sausage and onions together in a medium skillet until they are cooked through and onions are translucent.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a clean surface into a rectangular shape.
- Spread the cooked sausage and onions evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and fresh parsley over the sausage mixture.
- Carefully roll the dough jelly-roll style, starting from the long side, until you have a tight roll.
- Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

For Spinach Bread:
- If making Spinach Bread, substitute the Italian sausage with one package of frozen spinach, cooked and drained according to package instructions.
- Season the remaining ingredients with black pepper for added flavor.
- Follow the same assembly and baking instructions as for the Sausage Bread.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve slices of warm Sausage or Spinach Bread alongside a fresh green salad for a delightful and satisfying meal.
- This bread is also great for brunch or as an appetizer for gatherings and parties.
Chef’s Tips:
- For added flavor, you can sauté garlic along with the onions for both variations of the bread.
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or different types of cheese.
- If using store-bought pizza dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle.
- Leftover slices can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave before serving.
