Spaghetti Stuffed Garlic Bread

Holy cow, this is delish! I love when I find yummy recipes that are actually good on Pinterest.  I adapted this from that recipe "Braided Spaghetti Bread" on the Rhodes rolls website.

Ingredients:

  • 12 Rhodes rolls or 1 loaf of Rhodes bread 
  • Spaghetti noodles
  • Spaghetti sauce
  • Hamburger
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into cubes (I honestly just used string cheese!)
  • 1 egg white
  • garlic bread seasoning from Our Best Bites
    • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons each of: oregano, basil, marjoram, and parsley
      • Combine all ingredients and store in fridge for easy go-to garlic bread seasoning!
How To:
1. Roll out a large piece of parchment paper.  Put your rolls/bread dough on it and let it thaw. It took mine about 5 hours to thaw. 
2. Once thawed, roll out your dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle.  Cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
 3. While you are letting your dough set, cook your spaghetti and brown your hamburger.

 4. Let the noodles cool down until they're just slightly warm. Drain the hamburger and then put it back in the skillet and add the sauce.  Warm it up but don't let it get super hot.
5. Place your noodles and sauce in the middle of your dough rectangle. Top with mozzarella cheese cubes.
6. Cut slits in your dough that are about an inch and a half apart. 

7. Braid your dough...  Fold the bottom and top slit in towards the filling. Then braid by putting left over right, then right over left, etc. until you get to the last strip. Then, just tuck it under the folded over dough. 8. Brush with egg white and then sprinkle the garlic seasoning on the top.

9. Transfer your bread loaf to a cookie sheet, parchment paper and all! 

10. Bake at 350* for 30-35 minutes making sure your dough is cooked all the way through.

11. Cut and serve. DELISH!
