Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tspn sugar
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tspn kosher salt
  • 2 tspn garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup dried parsley
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 large egg beaten

Filling

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tspn kosher salt
  • 2 tspn black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup fettuccine cooked

Instructions

  1. Dough: Use a liquid measuring cup and heat milk until lukewarm. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of sugar, then sprinkle in yeast. Let sit until foamy.

  2. Add flour, butter, remaining teaspoon of sugar, egg yolk, salt, garlic powder, and parsley. Stir with a rubber spatula until the dough comes together.

  3. Place dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and not sticky.

  4. Grease a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough in in it. Cover the bowl with a slightly damp towel and let rise for 2 hours.

  5. Filling: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until very fragrant. Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Pour in 2 cups of milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened.

  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and remaining milk. Cook about 3 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice. Reserve 2½ cups of Alfredo sauce, then toss cooked fettuccine in remaining sauce until coated well. Let cool until ready to use.

  7. Preheat you oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray.

  8. Gently press down dough to deflate, then place on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough out into a large rectangle.

  9. Spread about ½ cup of reserved Alfredo sauce over dough, then top with sauced fettuccine, laying noodles lengthwise.

  10. Roll dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal. Trim 1 inch off the ends. Twist dough around itself to create a braid-like log. Tuck ends together so seams are down and place on the prepared loaf pan.

  11. Cover dough with a kitchen towel and let rise for another 20–30 minutes. Uncover dough and brush with beaten egg.

  12. Bake dough for 30 minutes, then cover with foil. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes in pan.

  13. Slice the bread and serve with warmed reserved Alfredo sauce alongside.
