This kielbasa-cheese bread recipe is quick and easy because it starts with a hot-roll mix and requires no kneading. Polish tylzycki, kurpianka, morski or any other semi-hard or hard cheese like Swiss, Emmentaler, Gruyere, or Parmigiano Reggiano can be used. And if smoked Polish sausage isn't available, smoked Hungarian sausage, salami or pepperoni certainly can be substituted.

Makes 1 large loaf Easy Kielbasa-Cheese Bread Recipe
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 (16-ounce) box hot-roll mix
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup grated hard or semi-hard cheese of choice
- 1 cup chopped Polish smoked kielbasa
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Preparation:
- Pour warm water into a medium bowl. Sprinkle yeast from hot roll mix over water and stir until dissolved. Add beaten egg and mix well. Blend in flour from roll mix, cheese and sausage. Continue blending until a sticky dough ball forms. Leave dough in the same bowl, cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled.
- Punch down dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Form dough into an oblong loaf and place on a parchment-lined pan. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brush top of bread with melted butter. Bake 30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 190 degrees. Remove from oven and transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
