Bloomin' Hot Ham and Cheese Bread

Inspired by several different blogs that do this recipe just with cheese or with pizza ingredients.

I unsliced round loaf of sourdough bread (I use my artisan rosemary salt dough bread)
12-16 ounces mozzarella, provolone, or swiss cheese thinly sliced
1 package of ham lunch meat

Directions:
Step one: preheat oven to 350 degrees
Step two: cut the bread lengthwise and widthwise without cutting through the bottom crust.
Step three: place bread on a foil lined baking sheet and insert cheese and ham in every insert (freeze after this step - to use defrost in fridge and then continue on to step four)
Step four: wrap completely with foil and bake for 10 minutes
Step five: unwrap and bake for 10 more minutes or until the cheese is melted and the ham is a little bit crispy

Add butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasonings for cheese bread
Add pepperoni for pizza bread (with marinara sauce for dipping)
Add pineapple and Canadian bacon for Hawaiian pizza bread
