Method 

Thaw bread dough on a greased baking sheet according to package directions; let rise until nearly doubled.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook pork sausages until no longer pink; drain. Place in a large bowl. Add kielbasa, cheeses and olives; set aside.

Roll each loaf into a 17-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Spread a third of the sausage mixture on each rectangle to within 1 in. of edges. 

Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch seams; place seam side down on greased baking sheets. 

Form each into a circle; pinch ends together to seal.

Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with butter while warm. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. Yield: 3 loaves.
