Braided Spaghetti Bread Recipes

BRAIDED SPAGHETTI BREAD (SPAGHETTI BAKED INSIDE GARLIC BREAD) !

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 350* F. Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper (Do it. Don't even bother trying to go sans the paper. I'm 99% sure you'll make a mess when trying to transfer) & roll your loaf out into a 12x16 rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap & let it rest while you get everything else ready (10 min or so).
• Cook your spaghetti (or angel hair) according to directions & drain. Mix in the tomato sauce & vegetarian Italian sausage/hamburger (or use real meat-optional) & let it cool slightly while you continue to prepare.
• Cut your block of mozzarella into chunks.
• Melt the butter in a microwave safe dish & stir in the minced garlic & a few pinches of basil. Uncover the dough & using a pastry brush, brush a little more than 1/2 of the butter mixture onto the dough.
• Now spoon the spaghetti lengthwise in a 4-inch strip down the center of the dough- top with the mozzarella chunks.
• Make cuts 1 1/2 inches apart on the long sides of the dough to within 1/2 inch of the filling.
• Start braiding by folding the strips towards the filling- braid left over right, right over left, etc etc- all the way down.
• Finish the ends by pulling the strips over & tucking under the braid.
• Then brush the remainder of the garlic butter all over the top of the bread. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese, a little more basil & some garlic powder. Add smoked paprika to taste, a pinch or two. Sprinkle parsley over the top.
• Slide the parchment paper to a large baking sheet & bake in your pre heated oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let it rest for about 5 minutes & then slice to serve.
• Enjoy!

SPAGHETTI BREAD

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions. (Check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; this dough should appear dry. If it looks wet, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour.)

SPAGHETTI BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray (or use parchment paper). Roll loaf or combined dinner rolls into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10-15 minutes. (I found it easier to roll out; put dough on sprayed baking pan; cover for 15 - 20 minutes. Finish spreading out with greased fingers...then I didn't have to worry how I was going to get filled bread onto baking pan. This worked well for me.)
• 2. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly.
• 3. I made a quick spaghetti sauce, using ground beef, pepperoni, garlic, red bell pepper, and spices. Try to make sure sauce is thick. I used paste, sauce, and seasonings.
• 4. Mix the sauce with the cooked and drained spaghetti.
• 5. Place spaghetti lengthwise in a 4-inch strip down the center of dough. I topped with a little more sauce, then added the cheese.
• 6. Make cuts 1 ½-inches apart on long sides of dough to within ½-inch of filling.
• 7. Begin braid by folding top and bottom strips toward filling. Then braid strips left over right, right over left. Finish by pulling last strip over and tucking under braid.
• 8. If doing the braid on your counter; carefully lift the braid onto the sprayed baking sheet. Brush with egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley (I added garlic salt).
• 9. Bake at 350 for 40 - 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and slice to serve. Delicious!

BAKED SPAGHETTI BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Roll out loaf into 12x16 rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10-15 minutes. I roll it out on a piece of parchment paper to make transferring it easier.
• 2. Cook spaghetti according to directions for al dente. Drain and let cool slightly. Mix with sauce.
• 3. Remove wrap from dough. Place spaghetti lengthwise in a 4-in strip down the center of dough. Top with cheese cubes. You can add 1/2 lb. Italian Sausage or ground beef (cooked) on top of this if you want.
• 4. Make cuts 1 1/2 inches apart on long sides of dough within 1/2 inch of fillings.
• 5. Begin braid by folding top and bottom strips toward filling. Then braid strips left over right, right over left, etc. Finish by pulling last strip over and tucking under bread.
• 6. Transfer to sprayed baking sheet or I just leave it on the parchment paper and transfer to sheet. Brush with egg white. Sprinkle with parm, parsley, and garlic.
• 7. Bake at 350 for 30-35 min or until golden brown. Let cool slightly, slice and serve.

DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer ground beef to a mixing bowl.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain. Transfer spaghetti to bowl with ground beef and mix in spaghetti sauce and Parmesan cheese.
• Unroll pizza dough onto a baking sheet. Starting with a long edge, cut the 2 outer thirds of the crust into 1-inch horizontal strips, leaving the center third uncut. Spoon spaghetti mixture onto the center third from top to bottom. Spread mozzarella cheese over the spaghetti mixture.
• Braid the dough strips over the filling by pulling a dough strip across the filling and pulling another strip from the opposite side over the first strip. Pinch strips together and continue to braid until the filling is covered with braided dough. Mix garlic into olive oil in a small bowl. Brush olive oil mixture over the top of the bread.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is hot and the crust is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve cut in slices.
