DOUGH
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (2 3/4 to 3 1/4 cups)
1 package Fleischmann's® Rapid Rise Yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup very warm water (120º to 130ºF)
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
12 ounces sliced fully-cooked lean ham
8 ounces sliced sharp Cheddar or Swiss cheese
TOPPING
1 egg, lightly beaten
Sesame seeds
Servings: 12
1. To make dough: In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt. Stir water and butter into dry ingredients. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
2. Combine mustard and mayonnaise; reserve.
3. To shape: On lightly floured surface, roll dough to 14 × 10 inches. Transfer to greased large baking sheet. Evenly layer 1/3 ham slices, 1/2 cheese slices and 1/2 mustard mixture on center third length of dough. Repeat with 1/3 ham slices, remaining cheese slices and mustard mixture. Top with remaining ham. Make cuts from filling to dough edges at 1-inch intervals along sides of filling.
4. Alternating sides, fold strips at an angle across filling. Pinch both ends to enclose filling. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
5. Brush with egg; sprinkle with sesame seed. Bake at 400ºF for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Remove to wire rack. Makes 12 slices. Serve warm.
