A Pinned Project: Spaghetti Bread

I was intrigued when I spotted Spaghetti Bread on Pinterest. Let’s face it, I’m going to make spaghetti at least a couple times a month anyway. I might as well try to make it a little more interesting.

So I went ahead and tried it one night. It was good! Definitely worth a repeat. But let me give you a quick run-down.

Things I Did Differently

  • I didn’t have parchment paper, so after rolling out the dough, but before stuffing/braiding it, I transferred it to the cookie sheet. That way it didn’t fall apart on me!
  • I sprinkled powdered garlic on the dough after I rolled it out.
  • I used shredded cheddar cheese instead of blocks of mozzarella. It was just what I had on hand.

Tips and Tricks (ie Learn From My Mistakes)

  • If your dough won’t roll out nicely, walk away for 10-15 minutes and let it warm up a bit. Try not to stomp when you walk away, or someone may ask a dangerously stupid question like, “Hey, how is your bread going?”
  • Don’t rush. If you do, you may find yourself forgetting to add the cheese until 1/2 way through weaving the bread. And it’s not easy to un-weave that dough in order to go back and add the cheese. It is, however, completely possible.
  • Cook it longer than the recipe calls for. Otherwise, it’s just not quite done in the middle. I cooked mine for 45-ish minutes. If you feel it’s getting too brown on the outside, you can cover it with foil.

In the end, everyone ate it, everyone liked it and everyone was not upset when I made it again.

Which means that this recipe will be around for forever.

Slightly Similar Nonsense:

      You should! It’s rare that one of my, “eh, let’s try this” is a hit with everyone right off the bat.

    Sounds delicious! Now if only I could cook. :-)

      using the frozen bread was a huge help.

  • LucidLotus Life

    Based on that recommendation I will try it.  Probably soon because I am now starving.

      I also made a version with bbq pulled pork and cheddar cheese. Was awesome.

    I feel totally inadequate now. I don’t cook. I’m not crafty. This is why i avoid Pinterest. I love you anyway.

      lol, if it makes you feel better, I only tackle the simplest of crafts. And only for the sake of the children. Once we got beyond coloring books, I’m a little out of my element:)

    This sounds like it might be easy enough for me to make. I will have to keep this post open on the computer while I try it though.

      lol, I do stuff like that, too.:)
