Ham & Cheese Loaf

March 31, 2009

Earlier last week I mentioned that my husband was going camping with the boys over the weekend.  Well, thanks to some nasty weather, they camped out at our house!  Saturday I took it easy and didn’t do much of anything…and it was great!

I made this for the guys for lunch and it was quite tasty.  I will definitely be making it again.  I just hope mine turns out looking better next time!  I was going to take a picture to share, but I decided to spare you all of that…otherwise you probably wouldn’t want the recipe!  I still haven’t gotten used to our oven yet and it bakes a little warmer than it should and not very evenly.  One side looked good, but the other side was, well, a little on the “toasty” side : )  After taking the toasty parts off, it tasted great!

Printable Version: Ham & Cheese Loaf

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. refrigerator dough (I used the Pillsbury french loaf)
  • 1 pkg.  (9 oz.) Deli Fresh Shaved Smoked Ham (you can use any kind of meat you like)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Tiny bit of mayo for spreading on bread
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 Tbsp.  Grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Flatten dough on lightly floured surface with hands. Roll into 12×8-inch rectangle with rolling pin. (If dough is difficult to roll, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 min. before rolling out.) Spread a little bit of mayo on bread dough.  Top with ham to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top with shredded cheese.
Moisten edges of dough with water. Starting at one of the long sides, fold one-third of dough over filling; repeat with other long side. Pinch seams together to seal. Place, seam-side down, on lightly greased baking sheet. Cut three diagonal slits in top of dough with kitchen shears. Brush with egg; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake 35 to 40 min. or until golden brown. Cool 10 min. before slicing.
I would check at about 25-30 minutes, as the egg wash will make your bread get golden brown rather quickly (trust me : )

    I love making those loaves. I call them "breads" and typically will use pizza dough. But the pillsbury dough is a great idea. Everyone's favorite filling seems to be italian sausage and cheese. Personally, I like spinach and cheese. Yum! You made me hungry.

    If you want to make this recipe a little easier use Pillsbury Pizza Crust. That way you don't have to roll the dough out. I found it in a Kraft magazine like 3 yrs. ago. I also make one w. moz. cheese, pepperoni and a lil pizza sauce and one w. chicken(make your own or use the already cooked chicken for salads), cheddar and broccoli. I enjoy your recipes, especially the mini meatloaves. Thanks.
