Chicken Cranberry Braid

Dough for one loaf of bread












I make my "Quick Whole Wheat Bread" recipe, form three loaves of bread and use the fourth piece of dough to make this "Chicken Cranberry Braid."
Filling
1/2 c. mayo
2 T. Dijon mustard
1/2 t. coarse ground pepper
1 can (12 oz.) chicken
1/2 c. chopped celery
1/2 c. dried cranberries
4 oz. Mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. almonds, slivered

Remove bread to floured surface; roll out into approximately 12" x 18" rectangle.  Place dough rectangle on 12" x 18" sheet pan lined with parchment paper.  Make 4" cuts approximately 1" wide along each 18" edge of the rectangle, leaving 4" in center for filling.  Place filling middle of dough rectangle, smooth to fill to the edge of dough cuts.  Fold the edges of the dough over to middle of the pan, covering the fillings.

Alternate sides and tuck strips of dough under each other, giving the appearance of a woven top.  Cover and let rise for 10 minutes in a warm place.  Brush with egg whites and bake in 350 degree F oven for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.

You can use any homemade bread recipe and then just make it as they show you on the You Tube.
