Crawfish Zombie Bread

Submitted by CheCheCherie

"After a trip to Jazz Fest, I went searching for an EASY and SIMPLE recipe that mimics their famous stuffed crawfish bread without a million ingredients or having to make bread from scratch. I found this on recipe goldmine and have been serving it with cajun meals ever since. This recipe has been requested and adopted by my friends and relatives from New Orleans! Try this... it doesn't get easier or tastier!"
