INGREDIENTS

1 loaf Frozen White Bread Dough - Thawed
3 cups Chopped Ham
1 slice Ham - 12 oz.
1 cups Swiss Cheese - chopped
1 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
1 tbs. Dijon Mustard
1 Egg - Beaten to brush on before baking
Oil to grease Bowl and Baking Sheet - to grease Bowl and Baking Sheet

INSTRUCTIONS

Place dough (after thawing) in a medium-sized greased bowl in a warm place. Cover with plastic wrap (or a dish towel) and allow it to almost double in size.
Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and punch it down.
Form into a log shape 8″ long on a floured surface.
Place dough on a greased cookie sheet and flatten it into a rectangle about 11″ x 13′ using your hands or a rolling pin.
Mix Ham, Cheese, Mustard, and Mayonnaise in a bowl.
Spread mixture lengthwise along the center third of the rectangle.
Make 3” to 4” cuts at 1″ intervals along both sides of the dough like fringe on an Old West vest.
Starting at one end of the dough and working toward the other end, take the end of a strip from each side and slightly crisscross them in the middle of the loaf overlapping in a slight herringbone pattern.
Cover again and let double in size.
Heat oven to 375°F
Brush the beaten Egg on the risen bread.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until golden brown.
