1 loaf frozen bread dough thawed & risen
8 oz. pkg cream cheese
3 cups chopped fresh spinach
1/2 t basil
1/2 t rosemary
1 egg
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 cups chopped ham
1 cup slices fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 T olive oil
1/2 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1 egg
Parmesan cheese, if desired
Spray board or counter with non-stick cooking spray. Roll dough into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle. Mix cream cheese, spinach, basil, rosemary, egg, Parmesan cheese and ham in bowl. Spread mixture down center (4 inches, going the long way) of the dough. Saute mushrooms, onions, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Spread it on top of spinach/cheese. Make cuts on sides from filling to dough edges every 1 1/2 inches. Begin braid by folding top row toward filling. Then fold strips left over right, right over left. Fold bottom end towards filling and finish by pulling last strip and tucking under. Lift braid with both hands and place on sprayed baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg (I just used a little egg beaters) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Bake at 350* for 35 - 45 minutes or until golden brown.
