Steps:

• Combine 3 cups flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl.
• In a small saucepan heat water, Dijon mustard, and butter to 120-130 degrees.
• Stir yeast into liquid.
• Let set 5-10 minutes until yeast is foamy.
• Add liquid to dry ingredients.
• Stir in remaining 1 cup flour to form a stiff yet pliable dough.
• Knead 6-8 minutes (I use my kitchenaid dough hook for about 4 minutes).
• Roll into a 12x14 inch rectangle on a greased baking sheet.
• Layer 1/2 lb of ham over the dough.
• Top with the cheese.
• Add the pickle.
• Arrange the remaining 1/2 lb of ham on top.
• Starting on a long side, cut 1 inch wide strips about 3 inches long toward the center (A kitchen shears or sharp knife works well).
• Repeat on the other long side.
• Starting at one end, fold strips at an angle across filling, alternating sides, tucking ends under next strip.
• Pinch ends to seal.
• Cover with a cloth and let rise for 15-20 minutes.
• Brush with the egg.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
• Serve warm with Dijon mustard.
