HAM AND CHEESE SPIRALS

Category: Roll Ups / Pinwheels

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

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.

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.

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.
