Cheesy Hot Sandwich Loaf ($12, medium)

$12/family; Medium difficulty; prep time: ~ 1 hour

Freezer club instructions: Your loaf is already baked, so defrost in fridge overnight/during the day. You can eat it cold, or reheated in microwave or oven. My favorite is the oven for toasty goodness! Serve with fruit or soup and salad.

Ingredients:
1 - 16 oz Pillsbury hot roll mix
4 oz. thinly sliced, fully cooked ham, cut into strips
4 oz thinly sliced pepperoni, cut into strips (I use Turkey pepperoni)
1 C. ricotta cheese
1 C. shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
1 C. shredded fontina cheese
1/3 C. thinly sliced green onion
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:
Prepare hot roll mix through the kneading step, according to basic recipe on package. Cover and let rest 5 min.

For filling in a large bowl, stir together the ham, pepperoni, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, fontina cheeses, green onion and pepper. Set aside.

Grease large baking sheet. Set aside. On a large floured surface, roll dough into a 12 x 9 rectangle. Spread filling lengthwise down the center of the rectangle in a 4-inch wide strip. Fold long side of dough over filling. Moisten edges with water. Pinch to seal. Place loaf seam side down on prepared baking sheet. With knife cut 1 1/2 inch slits in top for steam to escape. Cover and let rise 10  min.

Brush top with milk. If desired sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 min or until golden. Let stand for 5 min. Slice into serving size pieces. For left-overs, I like to reheat in the oven to get it toasted!
