Garlic Braid Bread

  • Cutting board/pizza slicer
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Pop Open the can of refrigerated Pillsbury Crusty French Loaf dough.
  • Slice lengthwise in half then into halves until you have 4 strips
  • Bread dough with the beginning briad (or plait)

  • Braid the dough starting from the right side, cross over 2 strips to the left, then under the 4th strip, start from right side again, cross to the left over 2 strips, then under the 4th strip, repeat until you reach the end (do not stretch dough, handle lightly)
  • Bread braid ready to bake, topped with garlic, and Parmesan.
  • Choose a cookie sheet, baking pan, or a piece of foil to bake the bread on. Spray with non-stick cooking spray first. Place in 350F degree oven for about 10-14 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven when golden brown, serve in cloth or paper napkin lined bread basket, alternatively just warp it up in a clean cloth napkin or clean lint free dish towel and serve to your guests. Bread will easily tear apart and your family and guests will eagerly devour it.
  •  Feel free to top with whatever suits your fancy, and serve hot nacho cheese or softened cream cheese, or pizza sauce or melted butter as a dipping sauce.
