Braided veggie stuffed bread.

Here I share with you a few ways to make braided bread. In this receipy, I am stuffing the bread with boiled potatoes, corn, bell peppers and cheese and folding the bread into braids.

You could make plain bread or garlic bread or simply cheese filled bread or use your favourite stuffing. 

So let's get started!

Ingredients:

• All purpose flour kneeded in instant bread yeast into a soft dough. Set aside for an hour till the size doubles.
• Boiled and mashed potatoes.
• Corns.
• Finely chopped bell pepper.
• Grated cheese.
• Salt, black pepper and chilli flakes.

Steps:

• Mix the mashed potatoes, corn and bell peppers and grated cheese. Add salt, black pepper and chilli flakes to taste.

• Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.
• Roll one portion of the dough into long, thin 2.5 inches wide stripes.
• Place the potato cheese filling in the center and sprinkle grated cheese on the top and start rolling the bread from the side. Seal it well so that the stuffing does not come out.
• The similar way roll the other 2 portions of the dough.

• Place the 3 long rolled stuffed dough as shown in the picture below and start braiding them. 
• Brush some melted butter on the top.

• Preheat oven at 400 degree and bake the braided bread for 20 minutes. 

Below is another way to make fish shaped braided bread specially for your kids. 

Steps:

• Roll the dough flat into an oval shape.
• Make slits at the egdes as shown in the picture below.
• In the center place the stuffing and grated cheese over it.

• Alternatively, close the slited edges thereby covering the stuffing.
• Leave the last slit so as to form the tail of the fish.
• Brush the same with melted butter.
• Bake in preheated oven at 400 degree for 20 minutes.
