Preparation

Step 1

HEAT oven to 350°. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 12x8-inch rectangle. (If dough is difficult to roll, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 min. before rolling out.) Cover dough with ham, overlapping slices slightly and leaving a 1/2-inch border around all sides. Mix cheddar cheese and dressing; spread over ham.

MOISTEN edges of dough with water. Starting at one of long sides, fold 1/3 of dough over filling; repeat with other long side. Firmly pinch ends of dough together to seal. Place, seam-side down, on lightly greased baking sheet. Cut 3 diagonal slits in top of dough with kitchen shears. Brush with egg; sprinkle with Parmesan.

BAKE 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 min. before slicing to serve.
