Stuffed Breakfast Braid
My Stuffed Breakfast Braid Recipe includes some breakfast staples that serve as the stuffing for the breakfast braid. What’s great about this recipe is you can really customize it to your taste and preference, but I truly love this combination of flavors and seasonings.
For this recipe, I used sausage, onion, potato, bacon, cheese, scrambled eggs and green onions.
Once filled with my favorite breakfast combo ingredients, I scored the ends of the dough by cutting about 10 slits (on each of the long sides) about two-thirds of the way in, leaving the center portion of the dough where the fillings are uncut.
I then crisscrossed the dough strips over the filling working my way down the dough in a braided pattern, making sure the filling is secure and the dough and braided ends adhere to one another.
To finish, I brushed the top lightly with melted butter and topped it with “everything but the bagel” seasoning.
Once prepared, it was time to bake the bread. My oven took about 25 minutes at 350 degrees. I raised the temperature of my oven to 400 degrees for the last five minutes to brown the top.
To serve, I carefully sliced the Stuffed Breakfast Braid with a serrated knife and served it warm with fresh, sliced avocado on the side.
