Louisiana Inspired Crawfish Bread Recipe

Crawfish bread is a staple of the Cajun-Creole region of the south. It’s quick and easy to make, but it packs a ton of flavor. The best part about this recipe is that you don’t have to deal with any messy cleanup or knife skills!

Crawfish bread with lots of cheese. You guys, this packed bread is the ideal way to try crawfish if you’ve never done so. The best way to eat crawfish could just be this way. Who could possibly turn down all that hot, cheesy, garlicky bliss between two crusty slices of French bread?

If you’ve ever tried to de-shell crawfish, then you know what a pain it can be. This recipe is the perfect way to enjoy crawfish without all the work!

What is Easy Crawfish Bread Recipe

Crawfish Bread is a classic Cajun comfort food in a loaf. It can be made ahead and frozen for later. This easy recipe is quick to make, perfect for a weeknight meal or party appetizer, good for a crowd and great for leftovers.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Mix together all of the ingredients, but don’t over mix or it will be difficult to get a nice uniform loaf shape when you cut into it later on in this step.
  • Pour into a loaf pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and dryish—don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect at first; that’s okay! Just give it another 10 minutes before slicing off pieces so they’re ready for eating immediately after they come out of the oven (or even better yet: let them cool completely).

Add-ins and Variations

You can add other ingredients to the bread. You can use different types of flour, different types of cheese, and even seafood for more flavor. You may also want to try using spices to enhance your experience. The possibilities are endless when it comes to making your own crawfish bread recipe!

Pro Tip

If you’re looking to make a more complex cajun-style crust, try adding some shrimp to the mix. You can also add different types of seafood and vegetables that work well with your cheese selection. Try making the bread with different types of breads and seasonings, as well as vegetables and meats such as bacon or chicken for an extra kick!

Special Note

We know that this recipe is a little more involved than your average bread, but we promise it’s worth it. You can use store-bought baguette or make your own from scratch. If you want to start with the easy option and use pre-made crawfish tails instead of making them from scratch, go for it! If you want to get fancy (and if not, why aren’t we friends yet?), feel free to use store-bought bread crumbs instead of making them from scratch too!

Make Crawfish Bread

Crawfish tails are sautéed with red bell pepper, onion, celery, and mayonnaise before being combined with the cheeses. Sandwich the mixture between two slices of French bread, wrap it in foil, and bake for 30 minutes. And be ready to devour the craziest, tastiest bread you’ve ever had. Seriously. When you think you have a large loaf of bread to share with all of your pals, it will vanish in an instant.

Meat from Frozen Crawfish Tails

It’s really simple to defrost frozen crawfish tail meat in the refrigerator because it comes in 16-ounce bags. The work of peeling all those crawfish has obviously already been done, and the tail flesh is already partially cooked.

Since they are harvested from Louisiana’s waters, they are the greatest crawfish you will ever eat. A volume and variety of superb seafood that is unique to Louisiana is produced by the state’s extraordinarily extensive network of waterways. You can tell the difference in Louisiana seafood whether it’s crawfish, oysters, shrimp, crab, fish, or alligator. You can never go wrong with Louisiana seafood, which generally has a far superior flavor than imported seafood.

Easy Cajun comfort food in a loaf

  • Toppings can be added before or after baking.
  • Bake in a loaf pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

So there you have it, my easy crawfish bread recipe. I hope that you have enjoyed this post and learned a few new things about Cajun food! If you try this recipe out, I’d love to hear about it in the comments below.
