Ingredients

1 pound Italian Sausage (mild or spicy, according to taste)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Sausage

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and sugar until combined.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4: Compose the Dough

Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in the cooked sausage, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. The batter will be thick and slightly sticky.

Step 5: Bake

Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Pour the mixture into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool for another 20 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
Check the bread at 40 minutes and tent loosely with foil if it’s browning too quickly.
This bread tastes great reheated briefly in the oven or toaster.

Variations

Spicy Version: Use hot Italian sausage and pepper jack cheese.
Vegetarian: Swap the sausage for sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers.
Breakfast Loaf: Add 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon along with sausage.

Required Equipment

Large mixing bowls
Whisk and wooden spoon
Skillet

Storage Instructions

Store bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil—freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes to refresh.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy warm with a pat of butter or cream cheese.
Pair with scrambled eggs and a fruit salad for a hearty brunch.
Serve slices alongside a bowl of tomato soup or salad for lunch.

Pro Tips

Don’t overmix the dough—just stir until combined for tender bread.
Let the bread cool partially before slicing to prevent crumbling.
Add an extra sprinkle of cheese on top before baking for a cheesy crust.
