Ingredients
  • 2 Oz cans Pillsbury
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC).

    Separate the crescent dough from both cans into four long rectangles by pressing the perforations to seal them.
  3. 3
    Place the rectangles crosswise on a large ungreased cookie sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  4. 4
    In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 tablespoons of honey, mixing well.
  5. 5
    Brush the butter-honey mixture evenly over the dough rectangles.
  6. 6
    Bake the dough for 8 to 12 minutes, or until light golden brown, then remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
  7. 7
    While the crusts cool, grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan.
  8. 8
    Carefully place one baked crust into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  9. 9
    Evenly layer the 6 ounces of thinly sliced smoked-cooked turkey breast over the first crust.
  10. 10
    Place a second baked crust over the turkey, then top with the 6 ounces of sliced Munster cheese and 6 ounces of thinly sliced cooked ham.
  11. 11
    Place the third baked crust over the ham layer, then spread the 1/2 cup of red raspberry preserves evenly over it.
  12. 12
    Top with the fourth baked crust.
  13. 13
    Brush the top crust with the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey.
  14. 14
    Sprinkle the honey-coated top evenly with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
  15. 15
    Bake the assembled loaf for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top crust is deep golden brown and the filling is hot.
  16. 16
    Let the loaf stand for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
  17. 17
    Cut into 8 slices and serve warm.
