Stuffed Bread Loaf Recipes

POLENTA LASAGNA LOAF

Steps:

• Prepare polenta: Bring water and salt to a boil over high heat. Whisk polenta into the boiling water and continue whisking until it starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until polenta is soft and has lost its grainy texture, 25 to 40 minutes.
• Remove polenta from the stove and quickly whisk in butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Transfer polenta to a silicone baking liner (or oiled foil or parchment paper). Spread it out evenly almost to the edges into an 8x13-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and smooth out the top with your hands. Place a baking sheet on top and press slightly to further flatten.
• Slide the silicone liner and polenta onto the baking sheet and place in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
• Remove polenta from the refrigerator and cut, from one long edge to the other, into 8-inch long strips.
• Prepare filling: Stir ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, mozzarella, salt, pepper, cayenne, egg, and parsley in a bowl until well combined.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with 1 tablespoon oil.
• Place one strip of polenta into the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Spread 1/3 of the filling on top as evenly as you can. Top with about 1 cup hot meat sauce. Repeat polenta-filling-sauce layers twice more. Place the last piece of polenta on top, then gently shake and tap the pan to settle the contents. Place the loaf pan on top of a sheet pan to catch any spills while baking. Loosely wrap the top of the loaf pan with foil, making sure it's not touching the polenta.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven, discard foil, and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
• Divide onto 6 plates. Garnish with parsley and serve with additional sauce.

EASY SAUSAGE-STUFFED LOAF

HAM, POTATO & CHEESE STUFFED LOAF

Steps:

• Tip the bread mix into a large bowl and stir in the mustard powder, then make up following pack instructions. Cover with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm spot for 45 mins-1 hr until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add potatoes and cook for 10-12 mins until tender. Drain, leave in a colander until cool enough to handle, then peel off skins and chunkily dice.
• Mix the crème fraîche, cheddar and parsley, then season really well.
• Roll out just under half the dough on a floured surface to a 25cm circle - it's easier to use a rolling pin and stretch it with your hands at the same time. Lift onto a floured baking sheet that will fit into the freezer. Evenly pile the potatoes on top, leaving a good 2-3cm border. Dot half the crème fraîche mixture on. Follow with the spring onions, then the ham, then dot remaining crème fraîche mixture all over the top. Roll out remaining dough as you did the first, to a little bit bigger than 25cm. Brush the border of the bottom of the pie with water, then lift the top onto the pie. Trim if you need, then press and roll up the border edge to seal. Do this all the way around, then press with the prongs of a fork to really seal it well. The pie is now ready to freeze, brush some cling film with a little oil and wrap it up well. Freeze for up to 2 months or, if cooking immediately, bake the stuffed loaf for 1 hr at 180C/ 160C fan /gas 4 until golden
• Cooking from frozen: Bring the pie out of the freezer in the morning and leave at room temperature for about 3 hrs.

STUFFED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to ......
• Prepare your ingredients by dicing your onion into small cubes, weighing out your flour and water and the sugar. This will make the steps easier and less confusing throughout the recipe.
• Taking a medium sized mixing bowl, add the strong bread flour to the bowl, along with the yeast and the sunflower oil.
• Using a fork, dig out a whole in the middle of the mixture and fill it with the lukewarm water.
• Again using the fork, stir all of the ingredients that are currently in the mixing bowl, until a sticky solid dough is formed.
• Empty the dough onto a clean & slightly floured surface and with your hands, gather all the dough together and kneed by stretching it until elasticated. You should be able to feel the muscles in your arms working.
• After about 15 minutes, place your dough back into the mixing bowl and with a nice slice a cross on the surface of the dough. Set a timer for the dough to prove for (at least) 1 hour.
• Whilst the dough is proving, take your four sausages and with a knife, gently slice the skin on the top so that you are able to peel off the skin. Once you have done so to all four sausaged, put them in another mixing bowl and with a fork, mash them into a paste.
• Using a food blender, blend the 2 slices of bread untill you are left with small crumbs. Add the breadcrums to the sausage meat with the chopped onion and also the sage and salt and pepper.
• Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until it combined, then using your hands, gather all the meat from around the bowl and form into a ball.
• Once your bread has been left to prove for 1 hour, empty it back onto your clean surface and using a rolling pin, shape into a long rectangle of about 30x25cm and using your hands, form a long cuboid of sausage meat up the middle of the dough and pull either sides of the dough over the top until you can no longer see the meat.
• Glaze with Caramelized onions and cook for 20 to 30 minutes (20 recommended). Leave to cool for 15 minutes then eat and enjoy!

CHEESEBURGER STUFFED BREAD LOAF

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add onion, cheeses, ketchup, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper; set aside. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and remaining salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using a fork, stir in milk until mixture forms a ball. On a floured surface, roll out dough into a 15x10-in. rectangle. Spread meat mixture to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch edges to seal. Place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into slices.

STUFFED BREAD LOAF

Steps:

• 1. Slice the top off of the bread loaf. Set loaf top aside. Using a serrated knife, cut around the inside of the loaf, leaving the sides intact with no holes or cuts. This hollows out the inside leaving the loaf as a container for your stuffing. Place the bread from the middle you just cut out into a medium bowl.
• 2. Brown hamburger with the onion, garlic, celery and any other veggies that you choose (unless they are already cooked.)Drain fat. Add seasonings and salt and pepper. (Add precooked veggies now and heat through.) Add the soup. Stir to heat through on low heat.
• 3. Make sure your bread middles are cut or torn into pieces in the bowl. Fold the meat/soup mixture into the bread middles until the bread is no longer dry. This is the stuffing for your bread loaf. (If you somehow don't have enough stuffing to fill the bread cavity, can add additional torn sliced bread to these middles.)
• 4. Place hollowed loaf onto foil laid out on a cookie sheet. (You'll wrap the loaf in the foil after it's stuffed, so place it appropriately. You don't want to have to move the loaf a lot once it's stuffed.)
• 5. Line the bottom of the loaf with half the cheese. Fill the bread cavity with the stuffing mixture. Pack it in tightly but don't tear the loaf shell. Cover the stuffing with the rest of the cheese. Replace the cut-off loaf top. Wrap/seal the entire loaf with the foil and situate on the cookie sheet.
• 6. Bake at 350 degrees until heated through, approx. 20-30 mins. Remove pan from oven. Remove foil. Slice and serve. Salad goes well with this.
