• 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray large baking sheet with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix water and Bisquick; knead until dough is smooth. Cover and set aside.

• 3 Place Bisquick dough on flat surface; roll the dough to rectangle, 10x14 inches. Spoon sausage mixture onto center of dough; sprinkle with cheese. Pat mixture to within 1-inch of edges of dough. Brush edges with water. Starting with long side, roll dough over sausage mixture forming a loaf. Pinch edges to seal.
