Crites Family Stuff

Ingredients for 18 servings

• Dough from Debbie's Basic Dough (recipe in this book)
• .25 cup softened margarine
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp minced dry onion
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic salt

Steps

1. Mix together butter, Parmesan cheese, dry onion, paprika and garlic salt. Divide the dough in thirds and work each third separately. Roll the first third flat into a rectangle 1/2 inch thick, about 12 inches long and 9 inches wide. Cut this into thirds, about 12 inch by 3 inch pieces. Spoon a third of the butter/cheese mixture down the center of each third and bring edges together, pinching to seal. (If the butter touches the edges, they will be impossible to pinch together and seal.) This will make three "ropes" that you will braid together. Tuck in ends. Make sure the ends are secured because as the bread raises, they tend to come undone. Brush finished braid with beaten egg and top with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Let rise double and bake at 375F for 35-45 minutes. You may use the other 2/3 of the dough in two more braids or cinnamon rolls or dinner rolls. The butter/cheese mixture will do just one loaf.
