Braided Spaghetti Bread & The official blog of Americas favorite frozen dough

This is a really simple recipe; it just takes a little planning for thawing the dough. It will take 2-3 hours for the bread loaf to thaw to room temperature or 1-2 hours for the rolls to thaw to room temperature. You will need: 1 Loaf Rhodes Bread Dough or 12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature6 oz spaghetti, cooked 1 cup thick spaghetti sauce 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 –inch cubes 1 egg white Parmesan cheese Parsley flakes Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray (or use parchment paper). Roll loaf or combined dinner rolls into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Remove wrap from dough. Make cuts 1 ½-inches apart on long sides of dough to within ½-inch of filling.

Begin braid by folding top and bottom strips toward filling. This was fantastic! Chicken Tikka Masala. My Indian tastebuds were tingling for some home cooking, so while rummaging through my cupboards I came across a packet of Chicken Tikka Masala my mom bought me when she last visited and then I was craving it.

Chicken Tikka Masala

It’s Indian comfort food at it’s best. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Indian cuisine, Chicken Tikka masala is chunks of spicy marinated chicken pieces grilled and simmered in a creamy tomato sauce. It’s a staple on any Indian restaurant menu and is hugely popular in the U.K. In fact, it’s even been dubbed as Britain’s National dish. It’s boldly flavored and rich, which makes it perfect with plain long grained rice or Indian flat bread called Naan (recipe coming up next). Ingredients:For the marinade- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces 1/2 Cup of Plain yogurt 1 tbsp lemon juice 1/2 tbsp freshly grated ginger 1 tbsp fresh grated garlic 1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper (or Kashmiri Chili powder) 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp salt.

Indian Flatbread- Naan (without yeast) A perfect accompaniment to the Chicken Tikka Masala recipe I posted earlier is the Indian flatbread called ‘Naan’.

Indian Flatbread- Naan (without yeast)

Naan is traditionally leavened with yeast and resmbles pita bread. Naan is also typically cooked in a tandoor (Indian clay oven that reaches temperatures of 900°F/450°C). However, you can make naan at home in the oven, or better still using the broiler in your oven. It’s dough is fairly simple to make and although it usually uses yeast, I left it made a yeastless versionand still managed to get soft and fluffy naans that youll want to make all the time. I used it as a pizza base in my Indian Chicken Tikka Pizza Recipe.

Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour or wheat flour 1/2 cup of warm milk 1/2 cup of yogurt 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp oil 4 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
