Ingredients
- 4 cup flour
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 packages. Rapid Rise Yeast
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp. margarine
- 1 1/2 cup chopped cooked ham
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped dill pickle
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
Set aside 1 cup flour. Mix remaining flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Heat water, mustard and margarine to 125-130 degrees F; stir into flour mixture. Mix in enough reserved flour to make soft dough. Knead 4 minutes. On greased baking sheet, roll dough to 14x12 inches. Sprinkle ham, cheese, and pickle down center third of dough length. Make cuts from filling to dough edges at 1 inch intervals along sides of filling. Bring strips from opposite sides of filling together; twist and place ends at an angle across filling; cover. Place large shallow pan on counter; half-fill with boiling water. Place baking sheet over pan; let dough rise 15 minutes. Brush loaf with egg... Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers; reheat to serve. Note: For an even heartier loaf, ham may be increased to 1 lb. Increase baking time to about 35 minutes.
