Kids Can Cook: Ham & Cheddar in a Loaf

Great fun and super-yummy all rolled into one. We've brought back our easy ham and cheese project for another round of straight A's.

Ham & Cheddar in a Loaf

Ingredients Needed:

1 lb. frozen bread or pizza dough, thawed
1 pkg. (9 oz) OSCAR MAYER Shaved Smoked Ham
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/4 cup MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
1 egg, beaten
1 Tbsp. KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese

Step By Step

1. PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Place dough on lightly floured surface; flatten slightly with hands, then roll into 12 x 8-in. rectangle with rolling pin. (If dough is difficult to roll, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 min. before rolling out.)

2. TOP dough evenly with ham, overlapping slices slightly and leaving a 1/2-in. border around all sides.

3. MIX cheddar cheese and dressing; spread evenly over ham.

4. MOISTEN edges of dough with water. Starting at one of the long sides of dough, fold 1/3 of the dough over the filling, then repeat with other long side of dough. Firmly pinch ends of dough together to seal. Place, seam side down, on lightly greased baking sheet.

5. CUT 3 diagonal slits in top of dough with kitchen scissors. Brush evenly with egg; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 35 to 40 min. or until golden brown. Cool 10 min. before cutting into 6 slices to serve (Adult-assisted). Makes 6 servings, 1 slice each.
