I've seen on TV where they wrap food in a mesh of suet--sounds gross when you say it that way, but man, I bet it's good.<BR/><BR/>I hate celery, so I usually make mirepoix (how do you spell it?) with zucchini.

Seriously. I'm not kidding. I've made a tri-color braided bread a few times, but I can't reconcile that with the filling.<BR/><BR/>You know, nothing makes my husband happier to come to the table and find than a whole roasted chicken, and it's like the easiest thing in the world to cook. Why don't I do it more often? And all he wants with it are chunks of roasted sweet potato, yukon gold potato, and onion and tons of garlic, salt, and pepper. Seriously--why do I angst myself?ninjapoodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322256509244988323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18060187.post-1146025649467914182006-04-26T00:27:00.000-04:002006-04-26T00:27:00.000-04:00Sounds good.

You roll out your dough into an oblong. Put the filling in a line down the middle, then take a dough cutter/scraper and make slits down both sides, making roughly the same number of slits. You want to leave the dough whole around the "head" and "feet" of the loaf...one of my co-workers at SS has this baby analogy that helps you remember how to put it together. You take the flap of dough at the bottom and "tuck the baby's feet in." Then, you tuck in the "head." Starting back at the bottom, alternately criss cross/braid the dough up the baby. Then, I brush it with oil and sprinkle with a little salt. It was like a giant calzone, and it was pretty good, if I do say so myself. : )Poodlebugzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081585495748471838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18060187.post-1145946490796145322006-04-25T02:28:00.000-04:002006-04-25T02:28:00.000-04:00MmmmmReading your blog always makes me hungry.

Just out of curiousity, how does one braid bread? Like hair, or differently?Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17348065180620691650noreply@blogger.com
