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 an 8″ by 20″ rectangle. Slice the dough lengthwise in half. Brush dough with melted butter. Cut dough crosswise into 10 (2″) strips to make 20 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.
