Description

These Baked Ham and Cheese Rolls with Honey Mustard Sauce are a savory and satisfying appetizer or snack featuring tender ham and melted Swiss or Provolone cheese wrapped inside soft pizza dough. Baked to golden perfection and topped with a flavorful honey mustard glaze sprinkled with poppy seeds, these rolls make for a deliciously comforting treat perfect for gatherings or casual meals.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 large slices ham
  • 8 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese

Glaze Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dough: Take the pizza dough out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before beginning to let it come to room temperature, which makes it easier to roll out and work with.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to preheat while you prepare the rolls.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  4. Roll Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 16 by 8 inches, using the baking dish as a sizing guide.
  5. Add Fillings: Layer the ham evenly over the dough followed by a single layer of cheese slices, ensuring no overlapping slices for even baking and rolling.
  6. Roll and Slice: Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the dough tightly into a log with the ham and cheese inside. Using a serrated knife, slice the log into 9 equal rolls and place them upright in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake First Stage: Bake the rolls uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until they are cooked through and lightly golden on top; check the center by peeling back a layer to ensure the dough is fully baked.
  8. Make Glaze: Melt the unsalted butter either in the microwave or on the stovetop. Whisk the melted butter together with Dijon mustard, honey, and poppy seeds to form the honey mustard glaze.
  9. Glaze Rolls: Brush the prepared honey mustard glaze evenly over the tops of the baked rolls.
  10. Bake Second Stage: Return the glazed rolls to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the tops turn a deep golden brown color and the glaze is set.
  11. Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and serve them warm or at room temperature for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Allowing pizza dough to reach room temperature improves pliability and rolling ease.
  • If you prefer sharper or milder cheese, Swiss and Provolone both work wonderfully in this recipe.
  • The honey mustard glaze adds a sweet and tangy finish that complements the savory ham and cheese perfectly.
  • These rolls can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the rolled dough to prevent squashing the rolls.
  • Ensure the rolls are fully baked through by checking the center – doughy centers can be uncomfortable to eat and spoil texture.
