    There are many variations of stuffed bread, but in our home, as I was growing up, my mother excelled in baking stuffed bread. Sometimes she used vegetables and sometime a variety of cheese and meat . Mostly it was served with sauce on top, but sometimes we had it as a main course. Do not be afraid to try many things in stuffed bread.
