Spaghetti Bread

Saw spaghetti stuffed in bread on Pinterest, decided to make it better.

Making garlic bread croissant dough for tomorrow. Going to make a spaghetti sauce out of homegrown tomatoes tomorrow, and add in some lemon grilled chicken (that's going to start marinating today), place this beautiful concoction on the dough, top it off with shredded mozzarella, braid the dough over the spaghetti, add a little fresh herbs and Parmesan on top, then bake this bitch.

Damn I want it now, LG, but baking shit from scratch takes FOREVER. Anything else I'm missing as far as the perfect spaghetti meal?

I might be doing something wrong, but I don't find baking to be that time consuming...

Any dough preparation I go through takes 3-4 hours + letting it rest overnight to relax the gluten. It literally takes me 2 days to make croissants, danish pastries, and most breads with yeast. Even some of my batters for cakes, pancakes, and crepes call to rest for at least 5 hours/overnight.

It may take a hell of a long time to bake one, but hey; It's worth it.

Yea, I was set back in everything I wanted to do today because I had to figure out why neither of the houses had power or water. Apparently it was caused by a fucked up situation down the road. I completely ignored my cleaning list for all this. Which is going to give my brother a reason to bitch, despite him not having to do any cleaning/cooking/lifting any finger.

I feel like Cinderella minus prince charming, a fairy godmother, a ball to go to and rats.


BTW daily cleaning list >_>; olawd I am not sleeping tonight.

Sexy, like you Josh.

I thought making dough was as simple as flower+water+yeast+sugar+salt+olive oil.

Dough is unforgivable. If only it really was that easy. You can overwork it by kneading it too much at one time without proper rest so the gluten can relax, and it will produce a tough chewy product when baked. If you don't have precise measuring, something will go wrong, or it wont be right at all. Then there's all the different techniques used to roll out the dough. For instance, I used the 3-three fold baking method for the croissants.

You have quick breads that allows you to bake it off right away because it contains leavening agents in it, but when working with yeast it's all about science and math. You have to keep the yeast alive and growing well. The better you treat your yeast, the better your product comes out to be.

It's why I could never be a baker. That much precision, and I would get tired of my job.

How does spaghetti bread taste?

Haven't put it all together yet. I was waiting for time to go by so it's closer to when my brother gets off work. The sauce is being started, and the chicken is going to be grilled when the sauce is half-way done. I made the whole wheat noodles earlier, and they are hanging in the kitchen as I type this.

It's pretty much going to be a magnificent spaghetti dinner, in almost a sandwich-like form.

Tell us how that goes.

It. Was. So. Freaking. Awesome.

The sauce came out amazing, the chicken was tender and flavorful, the bread was super flaky and exactly like a croissant. I'm in love~

Looks good. I might even try it sometime. Hope it was worth the time and labor.

Looks good. Though I'm more a fan of heavy meat sauces my self. The bread... I want to eat it.

I prefer heavy meat sauces too, but I had chicken that needed to be used. If it was ground meat it would have been a different story. >:'D

Deep Vacuum sounds dirty.

Wait, don't other people have a maid who does all of the cleaning for them? o_o

Apparently I am looked at as the maid, so other people: Yes, yes they do.
It's actually really annoying.

@Coffin- Well, the vacuuming is done for a reason >o>

Ok, let me rephrase that. Deep vacuuming sounds sexual.
