  1. i keep making this but in your recipe it makes it easier. thank you for sharing this to us!

  2. my Daughter makes this… uses frozen bread dough… same method as you used.. no sauce inside.. tucks the ends over so they are closed .. tops with an eggwash so they get nice & golden brown … very good !

  3. I tired this tonight (it is in the oven) ๐Ÿ™‚ although reading your comments I think I know a variation that you would like.
    You use refrigerated French bread. You cut it down the seam and spread it out a bit. Fill with the cheese and any topping you want. Close the edges around the filling making sure to pinch the ends. It calls for two loaves and you twist the lengths together. Then cut air vents and brush with egg white and Italian seasoning, bake at 350 for 20-30 min. The. You heat up sauce and just dip.
    I make these a lot and they are so good.

  4. Oh this looks delicious! We don’t have Rhodes bread in Australia though so would probably need to make my own dough. Too bad, the Rhodes would make things a lot easier.
