Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Roll loaf or dinner rolls combined into a 10 x 15-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest. In a bowl, combine garlic, olives, parsley, capers, tomatoes, sour cream and pepper. Remove wrap from dough and place filling lengthwise down the middle third. Sprinkle filling with parmesan cheese. Make cuts 1 1/2-inches apart on long sides of dough to within 1/2-inch of filling. Alternately cross strips over filling. Press short ends together to seal and tuck under. Support braid with both hands and place on a large, sprayed baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
