Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Add water, milk, and butter; beat on low until well combined. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile in a skillet, cook sausage until no longer pink; drain and cool. Stir in mozzarella, 2 eggs and basil; set aside. Punch dough down; divide in half. Roll one portion into a 15x10 rectangle on a greased baking sheet. Spoon half the sausage mixture lengthwise down one side of rectangle to within 1 inch of edges. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal. Cut four diagonal slits on top of stromboli. Repeat with remaining dough and sausage mixture. Beat remaining egg; brush over loaves. Sprinkle with parmesan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Slice and serve warm.
