- Separate dough into 2 long rectangles. Place on ungreased baking sheet with long sides overlapping 1/2 inch (1.25 cm); press center seam and perforations together to form a large rectangle.
- Spoon tuna mixture lengthwise down centre of dough. Sprinkle 1/2 cup (125 mL) cheese over filling. Cut slits 1-inch (2.5 cm) apart on each side of rectangle from filling to edge. To give braided appearance, fold strips of dough across filling, alternating from side to side.
