Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Spaghetti
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 loaf Bread dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and toss the spaghetti with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until evenly coated.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the bread dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet. Place the spaghetti mixture in the center of the dough, forming a long mound down the middle lengthwise.
Using a sharp knife, make horizontal cuts about 1 inch apart along both sides of the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space on either side of the spaghetti mixture.
Fold each strip of dough over the spaghetti mixture, alternating sides to create a braided pattern. Tuck the ends of the bread to seal the loaf.
Brush the entire loaf with the beaten egg to create a golden crust during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if using, and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Spaghetti Bread!
