. . . Ham and Cheese Roll Ups . . .

I love making these super simple Ham and Cheese Roll Ups. You can make them with just about any filling but ham and cheese is our favorite. We also make these a lot with pizza toppings inside which is fantastic as well.

• • • You will need:

*Ham or other toppings of your choice

*Cheese of your choice (I use Swiss when making this recipe)

*Refrigerated pizza dough or frozen bread dough

• Gather ingredients

• Chop ham in a food chopper until really fine

• Unroll the pizza dough onto parchment paper

• Cover dough with ham and cheese

• Roll the dough up for baking

• Seal all edges of the dough so nothing "leaks" out during baking

• Form the roll up into a half moon shape and place on a baking sheet

• Beat an egg with just a bit of water to create an egg wash

m• Using a brush cover the entire roll up with the egg wash

• Prepare for baking

• Bake according to the pizza dough directions

• Let cool for a few minutes then cut into slices for serving.

• • • Ham & Cheese Roll ups

• • • Delicious & easy!

Some other variations that we really like:

Pizza Roll Ups--pizza sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese

Chicken Roll Ups--shredded chicken, broccoli and swiss cheese

Broccoli and Ham Roll Ups--chopped ham, broccoli, swiss cheese and honey mustard spread

These are great dipped in a sauce of your choice such as honey mustard, ranch dressing, pizza sauce, bbq sauce etc. Be creative.

. . .Barbeque Chicken Pizza Recipe . . .

We love Barbeque Chicken Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen--I mean, who doesn't? It is so good! We also love making homemade pizza and several years ago I decided to give Barbeque Chicken Pizza a try and it was a HUGE success. I now typically make one regular pizza and one Barbeque Chicken Pizza when we make them at home. You may remember my homemade pizza recipe I shared here before but if not here is the link for it.

It really is a super simple pizza to make and guaranteed to please your family and friends!

• • •I find the Hot Roll Mix by Pillsbury is one of the best ways to make pizza crust. I have a real from scratch recipe but haven't used it in a long time because of this mix being so much like it and so much easier.

You will need:

Hot Roll Mix or any pizza crust recipe

Barbeque sauce of your choice

Shredded or Cubed Chicken

Mozzarella Cheese

Red Onions, sauteed

Cilantro

• • • Print Recipe HERE

• Gather your ingredients
• Chop onions and sautee in a little bit of olive oil until tender.
• Prepare pizza dough by following the directions on the Hot Roll Mix box.
• Knead dough and let rest for about five minutes

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread dough
• Top with the desired amount of barbeque sauce
• Add sauteed onions
• Add shredded chicken

• Top with mozzarella cheese and cilantro
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 to 30 minutes. Watch crust to prevent burning. The crust is baked through when the edge sounds hollow when you tap on it.
