A Southern Italian street‑food inspired stuffed loaf made with homemade sweet Italian sausage, caramelized onions, garlic, Fontina and Pecorino Romano cheeses, baked in a soft, airy bread dough. The filling is cooked only partially so it stays juicy, then chilled before being sealed inside the dough and baked to a golden crust.
