Irish Braid Bread

Disclaimer: This is most certainly Irish American food. My nan taught it to me, and I’ve seen it a few places online. I am not at all claiming this is authentic, traditional food. It is however delicious.

Ingredients

pizza dough

baked red potatoes

grated cheddar

corned beef

cooked spinach

Roll out the bread into a rough rectangle. It doesn’t have to be perfect!

Layer on the beef, spinach, cheese and then sliced cooked potato.

Cut an equal number of strips on both sides with a knife or kitchen shears.

Alternating sides, cross the strips over the filling

Tuck in the end (it doesn’t have to be pretty!), give it an egg wash, and top with seeds. I like dark seeds like caraway or black sesame.

Put in the oven for 15-20 min @ 400F.

Let it cool just a little, and then enjoy!
