Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza Dough (store-bought or home-made)

• 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

Baked Ham and Cheese Rolls with Honey Mustard Sauce

Instructions

1. If the pizza dough is refrigerated, take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before you begin so that it comes to room temperature (this will make it easier to work with).
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Roll pizza dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle that is roughly 16" x 8" (just use the baking dish as a guide, no need to be exact).
4. Heat butter in the microwave until melted. Brush the surface of the rectangle lightly with melted butter (this should require about 1 Tablespoon of butter), and set the remaining butter aside.
5. Top the pizza dough with ham and then with cheese each in a single layer with no slices overlapping.
6. Starting with the edge closest to you, roll the pizza dough up into a log so that the ham and cheese is on the inside. Use a serrated knife to slice the roll into 9 even pieces. Place the pieces in the prepared baking dish and set aside to rise for 20 minutes.
7. Whisk remaining butter with mustard, honey and poppy seeds. After the dough has risen slightly, pour honey mustard glaze over the top of the rolls. (This will look like a lot of sauce, but that's what makes it so good!)
8. Bake the rolls until the dough is cooked through and golden on top, 20-25 minutes.
9. Serve rolls warm or at room temperature.
