Ingredients

1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup canned Mexicorn, drained
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepepr flakes, optional
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 egg, lightly beaten

In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella, corn, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic and seasonings; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 16-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spread cheese mixture over dough to within 3/4 in. of edges.
Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams and ends to seal. Sprinkle a large baking sheet with cornmeal. Place dough seam side down on baking sheet; tuck ends under. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 35 minutes.
Brush with egg. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Yield: 16 slices.
