Servings: 4 people
Calories: 69800kcal
Cost: $15
Equipment
- Cast Iron Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 1 lb bread dough loaf; thawed (I used Rhodes Bread Dough)
- 2 tablespoons 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.
Notes
- Make sure the bread dough is fully thawed before rolling for easier handling.
- Lightly flour your work surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Brush the dough with melted butter to help it brown and stay crisp.
- Cover the casserole with foil halfway through baking to prevent the top from burning.

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.
