Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; set aside. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray.

Add 1/2 cup of the broth and the roast beef to skillet. Heat to simmering over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes or until roast beef is heated through.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Mix the mayonnaise, pickles, ketchup, horseradish, dill, onion powder and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt. Cover and refrigerate.
- Make the sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour 4 tablespoons of the butter into a small bowl and set aside. Add the onions and thyme to the skillet with the remaining butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Add the sherry to the skillet; cook until evaporated. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and return to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half and the onions are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Trim the ends off the bread loaf. Cut the bread on an angle into 12 slices, leaving the bottom of the loaf intact. (You can position chopsticks along the long sides of the bread to keep from cutting all the way through the loaf.) Transfer to the baking sheet.
- Brush the reserved melted butter between the bread slices and all over the loaf. Set aside about one-third of the onions. Fill every other slice of the loaf with the remaining onions, starting with the first slice. Fold the roast beef and tuck into the onion-filled slices, along with the cheese. Top the loaf with the reserved onions and any onion juices.
- Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Pull apart or slice into individual sandwiches. Serve with the dressing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and put in the oven.

- Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in volume.
- Turn over a baking sheet and set a piece of parchment paper on it.
- Place the dough on a well-floured work surface, handling it gently to preserve as much volume as possible and cut into 2 equal pices.
- Gently pull and stretch each piece of dough into a flat round, about 1 1/4 inches thick.
- Transfer to the parchment paper.
- You may have to reshape once you have moved it.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- To avoid the plastic from sticking to the dough, spray the dough with some cooking spray.
- Place a baking stone on the middle rack in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
- Using a spray bottle, spritz the oven walls with water.
- Work quickly so the oven does not lose heat.
- You could also quickly place several ice cubes in the bottom of the oven after you have placed the loaves in the oven.
- Slide the loaves, still on the parchment paper, into the oven onto the hot stone.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the bread brown.
- Transfer the flatbreads to a rack to cool.

- I'll gently dump half of the dough onto each piece of parchment paper and shape it there.

- Slice the beef thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the beef, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown properly.
- Cook the beef in batches: If you have a lot of beef to cook, cook it in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions takes time, so be patient. Cook them over low heat until they are soft and golden brown.
- Use a good quality baguette: A fresh, crusty baguette will make all the difference in this recipe.
- Serve the sandwiches hot: These sandwiches are best served hot, so make sure to eat them right away.
