Ingredients
  

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough 13.8 oz can
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced deli ham such as Black Forest or honey ham
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Pastry Brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and press it gently into a large rectangle.
  3. Arrange the ham slices in an even layer over the dough. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
  4. Starting from a long side, roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal it. Cut the log into 12 equal-sized sticks (about 1 to 1.5 inches each) and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush the mixture over the tops and sides of each stick.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Ensure the dough is rolled tightly to keep the fillings secure during baking.
