Spread the cheese filling mixture lengthwise over half of the dough, leaving 1 inch plain dough border on top, bottom and left side edges. Top cheese with the cranberry filling. Using the parchment as an aid, fold plain dough over, enclosing the filling, peel back the paper. Seal dough edges. Cut several diagonal slits in top of dough.
