Ingredients
- 1 loaf Frozen Bread Dough thawed
- 2 Tablespoons Butter softened
- 4 ounces Mozzarella or Monterey Jack Cheese sliced
- 12 small slices of Smoked Ham sliced thin
- 1/2 tsp dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Water
- Kosher Salt
- Cracked Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the dough in half to make it easier to work with, and roll out onto a very lightly floured surface. Your dough should be roughly 10 inches by 12 inches.
- Spread the dough with half of the butter, then cut into 6 equal pieces.
- Using one piece at a time, layer on cheese, ham, a sprinkle of oregano and a sprinkle of black pepper.
- Fold in the edges and roll up, pressing the seams tightly to seal.
- Place seam side down on prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart.
- Repeat with remaining dough, butter, ham, and cheese.
- In a small bowl, combine egg with water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush onto rolls, then sprinkle each roll with a little black pepper and kosher salt.
- Place in preheated oven and bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. The cheese may ooze out a little, and that’s okay.
- Serve warm right after baking, or at room temperature. They’re delicious either way.
Notes
TIP: The bread dough can be thawed in the refrigerator, covered, overnight.
