Just a quick trip to Walmart to grab a loaf of Marketside Bake at Home Sourdough Boule in the Bakery Department,  Jimmy Dean sage sausage and some Great Value Cheese in the refrigerated section, a couple of Great Value canned items, and you’re on way to this delicious appetizer!

It’s sooooo easy to make!  Y’all are just going to love it.

Using a serrated knife, gently cut 1/2 inch slices (without slicing completely through) vertically and then horizontally across the Marketside Bake at Home Sourdough Boule being careful to keep base of the loaf intact.  Set the cut loaf on 2 sheets of foil that are slightly overlapping and on a cookie sheet for baking.

Next, pipe in the pizza sauce using a sandwich baggie to assist you… it seemed easiest for me to work from the outside to the center, pulling apart each row as I piped in the sauce, working with one half of the load at a time.

Then to the fun part: adding the toppings!  Working in a similar manor as the sauce; add the mozzarella cheese to each row, next add the Jimmy Dean sage sausage and olives, and then top it off with 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese and the Great Value Pizza Seasoning.  Form foil around the bottom and sides of the stuffed loaf to make clean up a snap and help with holding it’s shape while baking.

I love fresh sage!  It’s so beautiful and fuzzy and soft.  It adds a nice, fresh flavor pop to our recipe and works wonderfully for a garnish.

The thinly sliced fresh sage is lovely addition but make sure to add it near the end of the bake time to avoid having it dry out too much.   I added it about the last 5 minutes and it was perfecto!  (plus I added a little more when it was done baking- the more the merrier, right?!)
