Equipment
- Cast Iron Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 1 lb bread dough loaf; thawed (I used Rhodes Bread Dough)
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted; melted
- 12 Swiss cheese slices
- 12 ham slices
- 12 turkey slices
- ⅛ cup powdered sugar
- ⅛ cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- Spray Cast Iron Bread pan with butter spray. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- On a floured surface roll the dough into a 12″ by 20″ rectangle. Slice the dough lengthwise into 3 (4″) strips. Brush dough with melted butter. Cut dough crosswise into 8 (2″) strips to make 24 (2″ by 4″) rectangles.
- Assemble by layering. Dough, cheese, ham then dough, cheese, turkey. Repeat until the bread pan has been filled. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Bake for 35 minutes. At the 17 minute mark, cover with aluminum foil so bread doesn’t burn.
- Top with powdered sugar and have raspberry jam for a dipping side.

I have to try this!!!!! I love that it isn’t battered and dripping in grease…..only oozing in butter and that is a-ok in my book! Thanks!
Was just told that this was the best thing I’ve ever made. Made my Traeger sad….
Glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the Monte Cristo you were sharing it with! Thank you so much for the feedback.
The taste was good but it was a bit time consuming for what the final result was. That being said it was delicious and the melted cheese tasted fantastic.
