Directions

1. Step1
   Combine flour with 1 teaspoon salt; set aside. In large bowl, stir warm milk with sugar; stir in yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes or until starting to foam; stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir in flour and salt mixture until shaggy dough starts to form.
2. Step2
   Transfer to lightly floured surface. Knead dough for 8 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic; transfer to oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
3. Step3
   To make stuffing, in skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat; cook sausage for 5 to 8 minutes or until cooked through. Add onion, celery, apple, sage, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Let cool completely.
4. Step4
   To assemble, grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to a 20-by-10-inch rectangle. Stir together melted butter, garlic and parsley; set 2 tablespoons aside. Brush remaining butter mixture over dough; sprinkle stuffing and Cheddar cheese on top. Cut dough lengthwise into 4 strips and crosswise into 3 strips to make 12 smaller rectangles; fold each rectangle into pockets to enclose stuffing. Place into loaf pan one by one, pressing together to fit all pockets. Brush reserved butter mixture over top; cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
5. Step5
   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
6. Step6
