The Bread

First I get a loaf of frozen bread dough and thaw it. Once thawed according to package directions, I roll it out on a greased cookie sheet.
The Toppings

I add a layer of cheese down the middle. Then I top it off with a layer of ham.
The Braid

I cut diagonal slits in the sides of the bread dough. I take the bottom section of bread and braid it over. I braid the other side making an "x". Then I keep braiding the dough until the ham and cheese are mostly covered.
Baking

I bake it in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool slightly, cut into strips, and enjoy!
