If you don't have any frozen dough "Best Bread Machine Bread" from this site works wonderfully with this recipe. Place a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter, place the dough ball on top then place another piece of plastic wrap over the top, push down with your hand, then roll out over the plastic wrap. This makes less mess and you end up with a pretty good circle. Remove the top piece, add filling, then fold over plastic wrap, closing the dough over its self. Move the handwich to a plate to apply the egg wash. If you do it like this you wont have dough on your rolling pin, counter, or sticking to your hands.

Omit the step of "rubbing salt", it's not neccesary. I let the turkey brine for 2 days in the fridge, IT WAS PERFECT!!! We used the fruit and onions to stuff it with, along with some sausage. After that, we smoked it (13LBS) for 9 hours. Doesn't get much better than that!!! WOULD RECCOMEND TO ANYONE!!!!

I didn't care for this, just wasn't the way I remember bread pudding. My family however, liked it. I would suggest blanching the raisins, and cutting the bread into 1/2" cubes (mine were apprx 1"). The top parts of the bread were getting dry and a little hard during baking, so I added about half of the topping while baking to add moisture, having 1/2 left over is PLENTY.
