ITALIAN BREAD APPETIZER



Italian Bread Appetizer image

I got this recipe from a coworker about 15 years ago. It was xeroxed from a magazine but I don't know what the magazine was. This makes a beautiful braided loaf, and the filling ingredients can be switched out with whatever suits your fancy.

Categories     Breads

Time 1h45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed according to package directions (white or wheat)
1/4 lb sliced genoa salami, cut into strips
1/4 lb sliced provolone cheese, cut into strips
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 egg, beaten with
1 teaspoon water
poppy seed

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan cook oil and garlic together over medium-low heat, stirring almost constantly, 2 to 3 minutes, until garlic is golden and fragrant. Discard garlic and set aside saucepan of garlic-flavored oil.
  • On lightly floured surface stretch and roll dough into 12" square; place on lightly greased baking sheet and brush with reserved garlic-flavored oil. Sprinkle evenly with salami and cheese. Arrange roasted peppers and green onions down center of dough, leaving a 1" border at each end and a 3" border on each side.
  • Use a knife or scissors to make eight 3" cuts into dough along both sides of the filling. Bring dough strips up across filling at an angle, alternating sides to give a braided effect. Pinch dough at bottom and top to seal in filling.
  • Brush braid with egg mixture; sprinkle evenly with poppy seeds. Set aside to rise in a warm, draft-free location 30 to 45 minutes, until puffy. (If you're using wheat bread, rising time may be longer.).
  • Heat oven to 350°F Bake 35 minutes or until golden. Immediately remove bread from baking sheet and cool 5 minutes on wire rack. Cut into 16 slices and serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Add a pinch of salt and a splash of extra virgin olive oil. Knead for another minute or two. The dough should come out smooth but still soft and just slightly sticky.
  • Transfer it to a bowl greased with an olive oil. Cover with a plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hours in a warm place until it’s almost doubled in size.
