Baked Ham Cheese Rollups
Warm and crispy roll-ups filled with savory ham and melty mozzarella, perfect for snacks, light dinners, or party appetizers. Easy to prepare with versatile cheese and meat options.
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet greased or parchment-lined
- 1 serrated knife for slicing rollups
- 1 rolling surface lightly floured
Ingredients
- 1 ball pizza dough fresh or store-bought, at room temperature
- 8 oz thinly sliced deli ham
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or other melty cheese
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: mustard or horseradish sauce for serving
Instructions
- Let pizza dough rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes to relax.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12 by 8-inch rectangle.
- Spread ham slices evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the ham, covering to the edges.
- Starting from a short end, roll the dough tightly into a log and pinch seams to seal.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place roll seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes to allow clean slicing.
- Slice into 8 even pieces using a serrated knife.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with parsley and with mustard or horseradish.
Notes
- Use cheddar, Swiss, or provolone cheese for flavor variations.
- Spread mustard or pesto on dough before layering for extra taste.
- Substitute turkey or chicken for a lighter option; add veggies like spinach or peppers.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days and reheat in oven to keep crispiness.
