1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: This will help to prevent the dough from tearing and will give you clean, even cuts.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Let the dough rest before rolling it out: This will help the dough to relax and make it easier to work with.
  • Use a light touch when rolling out the dough: Don't press down too hard, or you will end up with a tough crust.
  • Fill the braid generously: Don't be afraid to use a lot of filling. The more filling you use, the more flavorful the braid will be.
  • Bake the braid until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the crust is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

The beef n' cheese braid is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover beef and cheese, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
