• 1 loaf Alison’s French Bread Dough, thawed
• Ham or fried bacon slices
• 1 sweet green pepper, chopped
• Alison’s Lip-Smackin’ Chipotle Ranch dip

1. Roll the loaf into a 20-inch rope.
2. Form the rope into a circle and place it in a bundt pan for that pretty, round shape.
3. Let the dough rise to double its size.
4. Remove the wrap and bake at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes. You want to see a nice, golden color.
5. When the loaf has cooled, make gentle cuts across and lengthwise; careful not to cut through the bottom crust.
6. Place the loaf on a non-stick baking sheet and insert the slices of ham, or bacon, and cheese in between the cuts.
7. Sprinkle in the green pepper. Bake for 5-10 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
8. Serve with Lip-Smackin’ Chipotle Ranch dip.
