Ham and Cheddar in a loaf

By eaglezfan6

Ingredients

• 1 lb frozen bread or pizza dough thawed
• 1 pkg 9 oz shaved smoked ham
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Place dough on a lightly floured surface; flatten slightly with hands, then roll into 12X8 inch rectangle with a rolling pin. If dough is difficult to roll, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out. Top dough evenly with ham, overlapping slices slightly and leaving a 1/2 inch border around all sides.

Mix cheddar cheese and Mayonnaise; spread evenly over ham. Moisten edges of dough with water. Starting at one of the long sides of dough, fold 1/3 of the dough over filling and then repeat with other long side of dough. Firmly pinch ends of dough together to seal. Place, seam side down, on lightly greased baking sheet. Cut 3 diagonal slits on top of dough with kitchen scissors. Brush evenly with beaten egg; sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before cutting into 6 slices to serve.
