Roll out dough on an oiled surface to be the length of your cookie sheet and as wide as you can make it. With the exception of the broccoli bread, which you start by spreading the mustard over the rolled out dough, start by laying out the sliced cheese in single rows along the long side of the dough working away from you. Apply your other ingredients as you like keeping in mind that you will roll the dough up from the long side, working away from you. Roll up. Turn under the ends and seal. Seal the long seem well with your fingers and transfer to an oiled foil-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Bake at 375 degree until brown and bubbly (35-45 minutes).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
