Ham and Cheddar Loaf

I usually never make anything for lunch.

It mostly consists of leftovers.

Every once and a while however,

I will make my favorite lunch item:

The Ham and Cheddar Loaf

Ham and Cheddar Loaf

1 pre-made pizza crust or bread dough (I always make my own)

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

9oz. ham (or turkey, or whatever you have)

1 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

Roll dough into a 12x8" rectangle.

Top dough evenly with ham, overlapping slices slightly and leaving a 1/2" border around all sides.

Spread cheddar cheese evenly over ham.

Starting at one of the long sides of dough, fold one third of the dough over filling, then repeat with other long side of dough.

Firmly pinch ends of dough together to seal.

Place, sen-side down, on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Cut diagonal slits on the top of dough. 

Spray dough with Pam or brush with a beaten egg.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes (for pizza dough), or

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes (for bread dough).

Cool 10 minutes and cut.
