I really like this one and have made it several times. What do you need help with?

 

[LisaVH]

I am not sure about the assembly directions. As I understand it, you slice it like you are opening a book. Fill and seal. Then make an X with the two filled loaves and then connect the narrow ends. What I am unsure of, is do you then have a double layer of filling in the center where they overlap? Does this cook okay?

 

[rebeccastt]

Yes, the middle is a double layer of the whole sandwich. It should look like an "8" when you are done. It will still cook fine. I just usually cut a smaller portion from the middle than I do the edges. The Pepperoni Pizza Twist is a variation and also VERY yummy.

Thanks. I think I was just feeling a little unsure because I have not had time to really prepare for this show and was nervous about making something at a show I won't have time to try out first. I appreciate the help.

I have made it with both the french bread and cresents. I have to say the cresents was much better and I doubled the stuffing ingredients when doing a braid and everyone LOVED it as a braid! Just FYI.

Chicken TwistLOVE this and also the Pepperoni pizza twist . They are both put together the same way . This is a very good looking reciepe when it come's out of the oven . It gets a bit bigger in the oven This is in the ALL THE BEST cookbook with other variations too .. you need to cook it a little longer till its really brown cause the inside needs to cook .
