PATTI - VDRJ67A
1 lb Loaf frozen bread dough
Butter or margarine; melted
Flour
3 tb Parmesan cheese
1 ts Dried chevril leaves
1/2 ts Caraway seeds

Brush frozen loaf with melted butter to prevent surface from drying. Cover
and thaw at room temperature for 2-3 hours. Cut dough into thirds. On
lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a long strand. Braid
strands. Coil braid into a spiral on greased baking sheet. Brush with more
melted butter. Sprinkle with cheese, chevril and caraway seeds. Let rise
about 1 hour in warm place, until doubled. Bake at 375~ for 25-30 minutes
or until golden brown. Remove from pan. Cool on rack. VARIATIONS: Sprinkle
bread with mix of 2 tbls dried minced onions, 1 tsp dried rosemary and 1/2
tsp dried thyme and 1/2 tsp marjoram. A second variation is to mix 1/2 cup
grated cheddar cheese and 1-1/2 tbls poppy seeds into the dough before
rolling the strands. Can really do almost anything you want with herbs and
spices and this bread.
