A delightful baked bread filled with savory pastrami and melted cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Prepare the bread dough by letting it thaw and rise according to the package instructions.
Ensure the dough is placed in a warm area to rise properly.
Once the dough has risen, slice it lengthwise down the center about one inch deep.
Use a sharp knife to make a clean cut.
Gently spread the dough apart to create an opening, being careful not to tear the bottom.
Work slowly to avoid tearing the dough.
Spread the mustard evenly inside the opening.
Use a spoon or spatula for even spreading.
Layer the pastrami inside the opening, ensuring it reaches both ends.
Overlap the slices slightly for even coverage.
Place the cheese slices over the pastrami, pressing them down gently.
Ensure the cheese covers the pastrami completely.
Pull the dough up and over the filling, pinching and twisting to seal it securely.
Double-check the seal to prevent leaks during baking.
Bake the stuffed bread in a preheated oven at 350°F for 45-60 minutes.
Check for a golden-brown crust to ensure it's fully baked.
Let the bread cool for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a cutting board and slice into 2-inch pieces.
Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
