Party Club Sandwich

2 pounds frozen bread dough
1 pound turkey, sliced
1/2 pound bacon
6 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons prepared mustard

1. Grease a baking sheet; thaw frozen bread dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Divide the dough into thirds. Roll into a 20-inch rope and line up on the baking sheet. Braid together and form into a circle, pressing the ends together. Let rise for 30 to 60 minutes in a warm place, or until doubled.
4. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool.
5. Slice in half horizontally and on the bottom half, layer cooked, sliced turkey, cooked bacon, sliced Swiss cheese, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onion, mayonnaise, and prepared mustard. Return the top half and cut into slices.
