Ingredients

  • DOUGH
  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/3 cups water, warm
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • STUFFING
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons crushed fresh garlic

How To Make 3 cheese garlic braid

  • Blooming the yeast.
    Step 1
    Mix warm water, yeast, brown sugar and olive oil until yeast is dissolved.
  • Adding bread flour to create a dough.
    Step 2
    Add bread flour and salt to form a dough.
  • Letting dough double in size.
    Step 3
    Cover in oiled/greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size.
  • Rolling dough into a rectangle.
    Step 4
    Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Kneading isn't really necessary with this dough. Roll out into large rectangle.
  • Slicing dough into strips but not cutting entirely through.
    Step 5
    Slice each side with a sharp knife so each side has strips.
  • Melting butter and garlic.
    Step 6
    In a small bowl, melt butter and garlic in the microwave.
  • Adding cheese to the center of the dough.
    Step 7
    Fill with cheeses. Pour garlic butter into cheese with a spoon to get as many garlic pieces into the cheese mixture. Reserve enough garlic/butter mixture to brush the top of the bread with.
  • Braiding the strips of dough around the cheese.
    Step 8
    Fold end up over cheese mixture and braid your pieces from side to side to close. Fold final end up over cheese and last 2 dough strips over to seal. Place on greased sheet, cover with a clean towel and let rise for 15 minutes.
  • Brushing with garlic butter.
    Step 9
    Brush with remaining garlic butter.
  • Baked 3 cheese garlic braid.
    Step 10
    Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until starting to get golden on top of bread. Once baked, brush with plain butter, slice, and serve!
