- 1 tablespoon water

- Drape the loaf with bacon strips.
- Bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until done.
- Cool 10 to 15 minutes.
- Separate 2 packages of crescent roll dough into 6 rectangles (2 crescent forms make 1 rectangle).
- Reserve the remaining 2 for decorating.
- Overlap the triangles on a large, lightly floured surface to make a large rectangle.
- Gently press together the seams and perforations.
- Place over meat loaf and mold to fit.
- Trim off excess dough.
- Use remaining rectangles to make a design for the top; cookie cutters work great, you can also make ropes and tie them into bows and such.
- Brush dough with egg white and return loaf to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.
- Makes 6 to 8 servings.
