I made some Crawfish Bread a couple of nights ago and thought I'd share. It's very easy.

Ingredients






I only used half the cheese.



Simmer the contents of the ettouffe mix in a little water to develop the flavor. Don't use as much water as the package calls for because you want the sauce to coat the crawfish, but not be runny.



After this has simmered a while and thickened, add the crawfish tails and cook about 5 minutes. Take off heat and allow to cool.



Open the bread and unroll it into a flat rectangle. Place cheese slices on the bottom third of the dough and on the middle third.



Forgot to take a picture of this step, but spoon 1/4 the crawfish mixture on the middle third and fold the bottom third over it. top that with another 1/4 the crawfish, and fold the top down over to seal. Repeat with other loaf.



Cook at 350-375 until done.



Cut, cool serve and enjoy.



I actually think I like it better with Swiss cheese, but this was still a hit!

Pilsbury bread and creole seasoning. Two things you'd never see in my kitchen. Would not eat

I was making an R2R joke, I apologize.

It looks good, but I do agree the Pillsbury products.have a slight off taste to them. But its much, much more convenient and easier to deal with than making bread from scratch.

I do something very similar just with store bought French bread and add a lil liquid crab boil too.

Here is my Crawfish Bread recipe

• 1 lb crawfish tail meat
• 2 loaves French Bread
• 1 medium onion chopped
• ½ bell pepper chopped
• 1 stalk celery chopped
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 cups shredded cheese (any type)
• 1 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 tsp of hot sauce
• ¾ stick of butter
• Creole seasoning


Melt butter in pan. Add onions, peppers & celery and sauté until translucent (approx 5 min). Add garlic & crawfish tails and let simmer for another 5 min. Pour crawfish mixture in mixing bowl and let cool to room temp (30min-1hr). Add cheese and mix well, then add mayo and mix. (If it looks to dry and more mayo & if it is too soup you can add a little more cheese). Place the bowl with you crawfish mix in the fridge for an hour or until is stiffens up. (you can also place in the freezer to speed up this process). Cut the top of your french bread loaf and hallow out the inside. Spoon in your filling and place the top back on. Cut into slices and then wrap in foil. Place in an oven preheated to 400° for approx. 15 mins.


By the way, I am very familiar with John Ed's Crawfish Bread (JazzFest) and I really don't see the big deal. It isn't very good. I like a lot of what he cooks this is not one of the things though.

Looks great! This is a good choice for the BCS game or Super Bowl gathering.

Shake the haters. I actually like the Pillsbury French bread and for that matter Sister Schubert rolls. You don't need a breadmaker or to make the French bread from scratch.
