Cheesy Sausage Monkey Bread

This is great with marinara sauce or pesto would be awesome too.
Here is what you need:
3 1/2ish cups of flour
8oz mozzerella
8oz of sausage (I cooked a pound and froze the rest)
1/4 cup of sugar
1 egg
1 stick of butter
2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast
2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning 
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of milk
Dice up 1/2 onion and cook with sausage in a skillet on medium heat until all pink is gone.  Drain and set aside.
Mix together 1 1/2 cups of flour, Italian seasoning, yeast.

Heat salt, sugar, butter, and milk in a small sauce pan on low heat until 120-130 degrees.  The butter will be only partly melted.  You don't want it any warmer or it will kill the yeast.
Add butter/milk mixture and egg to flour mixture.  Beat quickly ofr 30 seconds on a medium speed of a mixer
Slowly add in flour and place in a greased bowl and let rise at room temperature until doubled.
Punch down dough and roll flat.  Cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
Layer pieces of dough with sausage and cheese.  Repeat several times until fill.  This makes enough for two you can freeze and serve later.
Bake at 350 for about 30-40 min until golden on top.
