Ham and Cheese Braid

HAM AND CHEESE BRAID

1 cup warm water
1 Tbsp yeast

Dough:
1 Tbsp oil
1 tsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 cup flour
1 cup flour

Toppings:
Pizza Sauce
Ham
Veggies
Cheese
(any variation)

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix in all other dough ingredients with the yeast mixture. Knead and let rise. Roll out into 2 rectangles. Down center put toppings (sauce, meat, veggies, cheese, etc). Cut diagonal one inch strips down both sides. Pull strips over center, alternating sides (so it looks like you're braiding someone's hair.) Pinch ends closed so that the braids don't leak. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Dough makes 2 braids.

(Without anything else for dinner, my family could prolly eat a half of a braid or more by ourselves, but otherwise, we usually cut it into thirds and add other stuff for dinner.)
