Herbed Vegetable Spiral Bread
1/2 C. shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 C. canned Mexicorn, drained
1/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 C. minced fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1 loaf (1 lb.) frozen bread dough, thawed
1T. cornmeal
1 egg, lightly beaten
In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, corn, Parmesan, parsley, garlic and seasonings; set aside. In a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 16 x 12 inch rectangle. Spread cheese mixture over dough to within 3/4 inch of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams and ends to seal. Sprinkle a large baking sheet with cornmeal. Place dough seam side down on baking sheet; tuck ends under. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled; about 35 minutes. Brush with egg. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped. Cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
