Bella Makes a Braided Cheese Bread


Also out of our bright orange 70s cookbook (Better Homes and Gardens Bread), this complicated project. First the girl made a big batch of pimento cheese from scratch. Then she made the bread.

It makes really good panini.

I love that she bakes; but what I love the most is the confidence she's got in the kitchen.

  1. Anna, I had to google "pimento cheese" to see what you were talking about. I have never tasted anything like it nor heard of anything like it. Great looking bread.

  7. Hello Anna~I am always intrigued by Bella's forays into the culinary world. I say that with the utmost respect because she really creates something wonderful each time.
    Being a Northwesterner I also googled "pimento cheese" and found the most delightful NPR page complete with wonderful comments by others about this true Southern treasure.

    ~happy baking Bella~
