Chili Cheese Braid

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon olive oil
One loaf bread dough, thawed and risen
One can chili
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup grated fat free cheddar cheese

Directions:
Spray board or counter with non-stick cooking spray.

Roll dough into a 12 x 18-inch rectangle. With a clean ruler, gently mark a 4-inch space down the center. Then mark dough into 2-inch strips horizontally. Pour chili down the center of the dough.

Top with green onions, green peppers and cheese. Make cuts on marked lines from filling to dough edges.

Begin braid by folding top row toward filling. Then fold strips left over right, right over left. Fold bottom end towards filling and finish by stretching last strip and tucking under.

Support braid with both hands and place on baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake at 350-degrees 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

Garnish with more cheese while still hot, if desired.
