Ham and Cheddar Roll-Ups
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 35 minutes
Serves: 12
Ingredients:
• 1/3 cup (75 mL) butter
• 3 tbsp (45 mL) brown sugar
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) grainy mustard
• 1 lb (500 g) pizza dough
• 6 slices Armstrong medium cheddar
• 6 slices ham
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
2. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes or until butter melts and brown sugar bubbles.
3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll pizza dough into a 15 x 11 inch (38 x 28 cm) rectangle, about 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick. Brush 2 tbsp (30 mL) mustard mixture over dough, leaving a 1/2 inch (1 cm) border. Top evenly with cheese and ham, leaving a 1/2 inch (1 cm) border.
4. Starting from the long end, tightly roll into a log, pinching seams to seal. With a serrated knife, cut into 12 equal slices. Place cut-side down in a greased 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) baking dish. Brush remaining mustard mixture over rolls.
5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Tip: Substitute the ham and cheddar for these internationally inspired variations:
Italian: Fresh mozzarella and sliced prosciutto
Spanish: Monterey Jack with Jalapeño slices and cooked crumbled chorizo
American: Swiss cheese slices and smoked turkey
