Ingredients
Scale
Main Components:
- 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough
- 12 slices deli ham
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Glaze Ingredients:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 375°F and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Stretch your pizza dough into a 12×8-inch rectangle, ensuring an even surface for layering.
- Arrange 12 thin ham slices across the dough, covering the entire surface with no gaps.
- Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of mozzarella cheese evenly over the ham, creating a complete cheese layer.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side, creating a compact log with no loose edges.
- Grab a sharp serrated knife and slice the log into 9 equal pieces, each about 1 inch thick.
- Position the rolls cut-side up in your prepared baking dish, leaving small spaces between them.
- Melt ¼ cup butter and whisk with 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, and spices.
- Drizzle the honey mustard glaze generously over each roll, ensuring complete coverage.
- Bake at 375°F for 25-28 minutes until rolls turn golden brown and cheese becomes melted and bubbly.
- Allow rolls to rest 5-10 minutes before serving to let cheese settle and flavors meld.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality ham with good flavor since it’s the primary ingredient in these rolls.
- Roll the dough as tightly as possible to help the rolls keep their shape during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute pizza dough with a gluten-free alternative or use puff pastry.
- Swap ham for turkey or roasted vegetables to create different flavor variations and accommodate dietary preferences.
