Form two tubes of refrigerated French loaf dough into a single ring, pinching the ends together firmly. Bake according to package directions (but do not slash the tops).

Once the bread ring has cooled, cut an angled trough in top with a serrated knife, then pull out more bread to make the trough deeper. Place ring on a serving plate.

Break or snip rosemary into short lengths. Poke holes in the side of bread ring with a wooden skewer and insert rosemary sprigs, placing shorter ones on top and longer ones underneath. Place platter in a plastic bag and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Just before serving, fill ring with cubes of a variety of Cabot Cheddar cheese flavors and tuck in red and yellow grape tomatoes.
