Roast Beef Sandwich Roll

Roast Beef Sandwich Roll

2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed

3/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

8 to 10 ounces thinly sliced deli roast beef, julienned

2 cups (8 ounces) finely shredded cheddar cheese

1 egg white

1 tablespoon water

Combine loaves of dough and shape into one ball. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the red pepper, onion, garlic salt and Italian seasoning. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute or until vegetables are tender.

Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle. Combine the beef, cheese and red pepper mixture; spread over the dough to within 1/2 inch of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long edge; pinch seams and ends to seal. Place seam side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.

In a small bowl, beat egg white and water; brush over dough. Cut a slit with a sharp knife in top of dough. Bake at 400° F. for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
