Servings: persons

4 cups flour, divided
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1/4 cup Dijon mustard (I like Grey Poupon made with white wine)

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 lb thinly sliced deli ham
2 cups shredded swiss cheese (8 oz)
1/2 cup chopped dill pickle
1 egg, lightly beaten

Combine 3 cups flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl.

In a small saucepan heat water, Dijon mustard, and butter to 120-130 degrees.

Let set 5-10 minutes until yeast is foamy.
5
Add liquid to dry ingredients.

Layer 1/2 lb of ham over the dough.

Top with the cheese.

Starting on a long side, cut 1 inch wide strips about 3 inches long toward the center (A kitchen shears or sharp knife works well).
14
Repeat on the other long side.
15
Starting at one end, fold strips at an angle across filling, alternating sides, tucking ends under next strip.
16
Pinch ends to seal.
