Stuffed bread
Description
Homemade pastry for tea. There are baked goods that can beautifully decorate a festive table, and this braid is no exception. In addition to its festive appearance, it is incredibly aromatic thanks to the spices and olive oil. The tomatoes, chicken breast, and hard cheese make this roll very filling, making it a great snack or even a workday lunch. Be sure to sprinkle the finished pastry with seeds—they give it a polished, finished look. Below you will learn how to make it. Can be served with tea or coffee.
