Ham sausage bread is a beloved savory snack, perfect for breakfast or lunch. Here’s a straightforward recipe to create this delicious treat at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)

- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast

Steps:

1. Activate yeast: Mix warm milk and yeast in a bowl; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Make dough: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.

3. Shape the bread: Punch down the dough and divide into 10 equal pieces. Roll each into a 6-inch oval. Place a sausage on the edge, roll tightly, and seal the ends.
