Saw this recipe, but was in the mood for Italian --saw the alternate ideas, but added some of my own ingredients! I used the frozen bread dough, capicola, salami, pepperoni, mozzarella, and red sauce...in rolled up the dough, did an egg wash and sprinkled parmesan -- DELICIOUS!

My family really enjoys this ham and cheddar loaf, match it up with a salad or fruit and you have dinner! Easy to make too!

VERY GOOD, VERY EASY The assembly was simple + my family really enjoyed = perfect recipe. I made 1/2 the loaf with Miracle Whip & the other w/out. For a mayo lover, I was surprised that I didn't prefer the mayo in it. Next time, I will make it w/out M.W. One hint, wrap tight & cut slits all the way through the top layer of dough. I didn't & the bread created a large air pocket inside, making for a less attractive presentation & the filling didn't hold into the cut pieces as I'd preferred, just messier.

My boyfriend is a very picky eatter. I made this for him and he loved it! I also made it once with roast beef instead of ham because roast beef is his favorite and that was very good too.

My family loves this recipe. I serve it with a creamy potato soup for a warm and hearty meal. This recipe is also easy enough for my teenage daughters to prepare.

This was very good. I had to reduce the bake time though because it was browning up and getting too crisp on the bottom. Otherwise, it was very good.

I used leftover Easter ham, fresh broccoli, and cheddar cheese. It was so good!! I'll have to make more than one next time as it was gone within a few minutes.

This was far too cheesy. The cheese made the bread taste oily.

My family LOVED this recipe! My 4 year old is going through a picky-eating stage and she had 2 helpings! I used real mayo, and about 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese. It was delicious with the ham, and I have also decided to try this next time with roast beef.
