Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 1 package kielbasa
- BBQ sauce, to taste
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, divided
- Melted butter, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Slice bread and prepare kielbasa: Slice the French bread in half lengthwise. Cut the kielbasa in half lengthwise as well, then place each piece on the cut sides of the bread.
- Add BBQ sauce and seasoning: Generously drizzle BBQ sauce over the kielbasa pieces laid on the bread. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning evenly over each piece of kielbasa.
- Roll and season the bread: Carefully roll the bread over the kielbasa, enclosing the sausage completely like a wrap. Brush the outside of the bread with melted butter, then sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning evenly on top.
- Bake: Place the rolled sandwich seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the kielbasa is heated through.
- Rest and serve: Remove from oven and let the sandwich rest for 5 minutes to set. Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve warm with additional BBQ sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, you can broil the sandwich for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Use your favorite BBQ sauce variety to customize the flavor—spicy, sweet, or smoky.
- Everything bagel seasoning adds a savory, nutty flavor but can be omitted or substituted if unavailable.
- Make sure to slice the sandwich after resting for cleaner, easier cuts.
- This recipe can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
