Time 1h15m

Yield 12 spirals

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Flour, for work surface
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar
1/2 pound deli sliced ham
1 large egg
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasoning.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch square. Brush the entire surface with the seasoned olive oil. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheese and an even layer of ham. (Reserve the extra cheese and ham for Round 2 Ham and Cheese Croquettes.)
  • Starting from the bottom edge, tightly roll up the dough to form a log. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll on the bias into 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange the rolls on their side on a nonstick or lightly oiled baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to proof.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with 2 tablespoons of water. Brush the tops and sides of the rolls with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Tips:

  • For a quick and easy meal, use pre-made puff pastry dough.
  • If you want a more flavorful spiral, use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Add your favorite herbs and spices to the filling for an extra burst of flavor.

  • Bake the spirals until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
