The Girl Who Ate Everything is my new go-to website for amazing recipes. I just discovered her Peanut Butter & Jelly Braid bread, and it is superb. I'm really lazy, so I didn't do the whole homemade bread dough thing. Nope - I went to the frozen food section of my nearest Kroger and bought a bag of 5 loafs of bread dough for $3.99. Worked just fine! I used Peter Pan honey roasted peanut butter, and some of my own homemade strawberry jam! You really should check out her site, she's also got a Taco Braid filling version that I'll be trying for dinner one night this week. Here's her recipe for Peanut Butter & Jelly Braid Bread:
Peanut Butter and Jelly Braid Filling
Peanut butter
Favorite flavor jelly
1. Spray counter and hands with cooking spray and knead for a few seconds to form smooth ball.
2. Roll dough into a 15-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Place on a greased cookie sheet. It's very important to place the dough on the cookie sheet before you fill it because once you fill it, it will be too heavy to move onto the cookie sheet. Spread peanut butter and jelly down the center third of the rectangle.
3. On each long side, cut 1 inch wide strips about 2-1/2-inches into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling.
4. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under.
5. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
6. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack or cutting board with 2 spatulas.
