Ham & Cheddar in a Loaf

 See below for tips and variations.
1 lb. frozen bread dough, thawed (I use Rhodes bread dough)
1 pkg.  (9 oz.) OSCAR MAYER Deli Fresh Shaved Smoked Ham
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup  MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp.  KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese 
HEAT oven to 350°F.
FLATTEN dough on lightly floured surface. Roll into 12x8-inch rectangle with rolling pin. Top with ham to within 1/2 inch of edges. Mix Cheddar and dressing; spread over ham.
MOISTEN edges of dough with water. Fold lengthwise into thirds; pinch seams together to seal. Place, seam-side down, on lightly greased baking sheet. Cut several slits in top. Brush with egg; sprinkle with Parmesan.
BAKE 35 to 40 min. or until golden brown. Cool 10 min. before slicing.

I buy Rhodes bread dough.  It comes in a pkg of 5.  I make 5 loafs and freeze them for a quick meal in the future.  Just thaw and bake!
 Rhodes dough comes frozen.  Thaw only a few at a time to prepare the loafs.  The dough will start rising pretty quickly after it thaws, so you should only do a few at a time and try to get them back in the freezer before they start to rise. (If you're not going to cook them right away)
Try making a Pizza Loaf!  Fill the dough with sauce, cheese, and your favorite meats and veggies. 

Great for taking a meal to a new mom or someone who has been sick.
