Taste of Louisiana Spiced Bread Braid

Recipe #296202 | 45 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 10 , 1 loaf (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: ~Rita~

This is a Cajun bread spiced with tomato, spices, garlic, heat form hot peppers. I read and was told you can not mix fresh garlic into the bread dough because the garlic will kill the yeast. I have and never had a problem. Just look at the picture of my bread. Be sure to place the garlic in separate corners from the yeast.
