Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 roll Pizza Dough- servings for 8
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup Boursin Garlic & Herb Gournay Cheese
1/2 cup Fresh Grated Parmesan
2 tbsp Italian Herb Seasoning
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp Italian herbs

Instructions

Prepare your pizza dough.
Use your favorite fresh dough recipe – or favorite pre-made frozen dough.
Roll your dough out to flatten it and sprinkle with your parmesan cheese.
Fold and roll again to create a rectangle. Mix the butter and boursin cheese & fresh and dry herbs in a bowl and then spread onto the rectangle of dough.
Roll your dough up tightly to create a log – and then slice the log in half- leaving just the top of the roll together.
Twist your bread on top of each other and then take the 'braid' and roll it in a figure 8 shape- take the top to the right down towards the middle – and the bottom to the left up towards the middle.
Pre-heat your oven to 375 (or whatever the pre-made dough specifies) Set aside your brad log and let rise for 20-30 minutes. Brush with a bit of beaten egg or olive oil and bake until golden brown- aproximately 30 minutes.
Mix Olive Oil with fresh ground black pepper and herbs for dipping. Slice and serve warm with oil or butter if you prefer.
