Pizza Braid

One White Loaf Rhodes Frozen Bread Dough
Pizza Sauce
Pepperoni slices
Canadian Bacon slices
Mozzarella cheese, grated

Let the bread loaf thaw on a greased cookie sheet with plastic wrap (sprayed with Pam) covering it until double in size. Remove plastic wrap, and smash with hands to create a large rectangular piece of dough. Spread desired pizza sauce down the center of the loaf length-wise, leaving about two inches on each side of plain dough to twist later. Place desired toppings down center of dough, and cover with cheese. Take a knife and slice strips from the center of the dough out to the edges about an inch apart on each side - be sure to make the same amount of slices on each and have them line up on each side of the loaf as best you can. Then, starting on one end, pull a strip on each side up to the center of the dough, and twist twice and lay flat over the middle, until all the pizza is braided up. (Tuck the end in and then twist over for the edges). Bake immediately at 325 for 20-25 minutes or so, or wrap in plastic wrap and foil and place in freezer.
