Method

  1. Thaw the frozen bread dough.

  2. In a large, deep skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until it is evenly browned. Drain the sausage and set it aside.

  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the eggs until they are solid. Remove the skillet from the heat and set the eggs aside.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a medium baking dish.

  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one loaf of bread dough at a time until it is approximately 1/4 inch or less thick.

  6. Evenly spread 1/3 of the cooked sausage, 1/3 of the cooked eggs, 1/3 of the pepperoni, and 1/3 of the Provolone cheese over each sheet of dough. Roll the dough into a loaf shape.

  7. Place each rolled loaf into the prepared baking dish one at a time. Brush each loaf with 1/3 of the beaten egg mixture.

  8. Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until they are golden brown. If desired, shape the loaves into a U shape before baking.
