Intestines Bread is a fun halloween party food that makes you look twice. All it really is, is a sweet pull apart bread with cream cheese and raspberries.

Normally I’m a spooky-cute halloween food type person. I make halloween recipes inspired by candy corn, pumpkins, and anything cute with candy eyes. But this year, I went the slightly gory route. Intestines Bread is gross to think about, but delicious to eat since it’s stuffed with sweetened cream cheese and raspberry preserves.

Plus, it’s so easy to make with only 5 ingredients! Rhodes frozen dough, cream cheese, granulated sugar, raspberry preserves, and an egg. The bread is zig-zagged to look like intestines, and the raspberry preserves give it a “bloody” element.

All you do is roll out a thawed loaf of Rhodes white bread into a large rectangle about 12-inches wide by 20-inches long, and 1/4-inch thin. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough in half length-wise. Mix the cream cheese and sugar together in a bowl. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on each strip of dough, leaving 1/2-inch uncovered on one of the long edges of each strip of dough. Then spread a thin layer of raspberry preserves over the cream cheese layer. Roll each piece of dough “jelly-roll style” into a long, skinny log, pinching the seam of the dough together the best you can. (It gets messy!)

Carefully pick up the dough, one piece at a time, and wind/zig-zag it seam-side down into a 9×5-inch bread pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Whisk the egg in a bowl and brush it over the top of the bread.Then fill in the folds with additional raspberry preserves.

Bake the Intestines Bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is brown and the dough is cooked in the folds. Cover with foil if it browns too quickly. Serve warm with additional raspberry preserves if desired. (Looks the best if displayed in the pan.) This makes a great gory halloween breakfast or dessert.
