CHEESE ZOMBIES

Steps:

• Thaw bread dough and divide in half. Using whatever means you feel is necessary, spread dough in a 13x18 inch jelly roll pan, or any pan with low sides.
• Shred your cheese and reserve 4 ounces. Spread 12 ounces of cheese over bread dough. Roll second half of dough into a 13x18 inch square and place on top of the cheese. Press down the edges a bit to keep the top and the bottom the same size during baking.
• Bake at 350° for 45 minutes Sprinkle remaining 4 ounces of cheese on the top of the bread and bake another 5 minutes
• Let this cool for about 20 mins before cutting into 12 squares. Serve with soup or steamed veggies.
• Variations: add fun things to the cheese in the middle like chopped red pepper, chopped mushrooms, sliced green onion, or chopped black olives. I do NOT recommend spinach as a potential add-in since it's so water-filled. I know, I know, so are mushrooms, but not as much.

ZOMBIE

Steps:

• Combine 2 1/2 ounces pineapple juice, 1 1/2 ounces orange juice, 1 ounce each white rum, gold rum and lemon juice, 1/2 ounce each lime juice and Velvet Falernum and 1/4 ounce grenadine in a shaker with ice; shake well. Strain into a tall glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a mint sprig.

ZOMBIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add remaining ingredients and mix with a dough hook about 10 minutes until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Dough should be soft and pliable. Let dough rest a few minutes then divide into 1-lb portions. Roll the portions into logs. cut each log into 5 equal pieces.
• Flatten dough piece with your hand until about 1/8 inch. Place cheese in the middle of the dough and then pull dough up from the sides to cover filling. Pinch closed very carefully. Place zombies pinched side down on parchment paper or a greased cookie sheet pan. If desired, brush tops of the zombies with egg wash. Let rise until almost doubled in size. Bake @350 degrees until the top is brown, 15-20 minutes.
• Fillings:.
• If traditional filling is desired, use about 2 oz of cheese per zombie (2 slices of American cheese).
• Optional:.
• You can use a variety of different fillings, pepperoni, pizza sauce and cheese, ham and cheese, sausage, green chilies, ground beef, sloppy joes, scrambled eggs, veggies, etc.
