Hot Ham and Cheese Spiral Rolls

These rolls are my go-to food to take to new mothers or someone who has had surgery and needs a meal. They are also great for nights where you have people in and out of the house (like Halloween or before a sporting event) where everyone wants and needs to eat, but you aren’t all doing it at the same time. When I make this recipe, I make my own pizza dough. I make it so often that it’s much easier for me to make it from scratch than to purchase it frozen/canned/refrigerated. I’ll put the recipe below, it is a sourdough recipe, I have a sourdough starter that I have kept going in my refrigerator for over 5 years. If you don’t have access to starter, the recipe still works without it, just not quite as tasty and you might have to add a bit more water.

After making the dough, I divide in half and roll out into two rectangles, roughly 14 x 20 inches. (You see I’m not perfectly exact, if you use the Pillsbury variety it might be more even)

Layer one pound of sliced ham, divided between the two pieces of dough

On the second layer, spread slices of Swiss cheese over the two:

Roll up from the long side in a cinnamon roll type fashion:

Slice each log into 12-14 equal sized slices and layer in a 13×9 inch baking dish

In a small saucepan, combine butter, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and mustard and cook over medium heat until butter is melted, whisking regularly.

Evenly distribute over the top of the rolls in each pan

Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until set and slightly browned, serve warm
