Italian Hero Braid
My mother-in-law used to make these pastry pockets for my husband while he was growing up. After we got married, I changed her recipe a little to fit our family's tastes. —Amanda Kohler, Redmond, Washington

The filling flavors are great and the braided loaf is beautiful and impressive-looking. I took aug2295's advice and added 1.5 t of salt to the dough and then let it rise for an hour between steps 2 and 3. Yum!
The filling for this was delicious. The dough mixture could have used some seasoning- it would have benefited from some salt and a little time to rise to give it a lighter texture. Overall it was great though.
So so on this one this time round. The dough is very soft and might be better to roll out on the parchement. Lost the tastes of the cheese and the salami, they just disappeared.Very pretty to look at and fairly quick to assemble
