I've made this twice in the last couple months and it's delicious! It's easy to make and a guaranteed crowd pleaser! The recipe I used is below:
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf bread dough (I used Rhodes frozen bread)
- 6 ounces spaghetti noodles (I guestimated)
- 1 cup spaghetti sauce
- 1/3 lb. ground beef or Italian meatballs
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- Garlic Powder
- Baking Sheet
- Rolling Pin
- Parchment Paper
Instructions:
- THAW BREAD DOUGH. The best way to do this is to put the frozen loaf in your refrigerator at least 24 hours before you're going to start cooking. The first time I made this I forgot this step. Putting the bread dough in a zip lock bag and putting that in your sink filled with cold water is an easy way to thaw the dough in about an hour.
- Cook the spaghetti noodles and meat (if you choose to include this).
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the parchment paper on the baking sheet. This is to make sure the bread doesn't stick to the pan, if you don't have parchment paper, just spray the pan with some PAM.
- Roll out the thawed bread dough into a rectangle. Do this directly on the parchment paper covered baking sheet.
- Make cuts about 1 inch wide and 1 1/2 inches long along both sides.
- Mix the cooked spaghetti noodles, meat and sauce. Place these in the middle of the bread.
- Add 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Braid the dough by folding top and bottom strips toward filling. You'll braid strips left over right, right over left. Finish by pulling last strip over and tucking under braid. (Don't be discouraged if it doesn't look as good as it does in the picture.)
- Brush the top with egg white. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
- Put in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until bread looks cooked.
- ENJOY!
