Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb. (500g.) refrigerated pizza dough
• 1/2 lb. (250g.) deli sliced black forest ham
• 1 cup double cheddar shredded cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Place dough on lightly floured surface; flatten slightly with hands, then roll into 12x8 inch rectangle with rolling pin. (if dough is difficult to roll, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out)

Top dough evenly with ham, overlapping slices slightly and leaving a 1/2" border around all sides.

Mix cheddar cheese and mayonnaise; spread evenly over ham.

Moisten edges of dough with water. Starting at one of the long sides of dough, fold one third of the dough over filling, then repeat with other long side of dough. Firmly pinch ends of dough together to seal. Place, seam-side down, on lightly greased baking sheet.

Cut 3 diagonal slits on top with kitchen shears. Brush evenly with egg; sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake 35 - 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before cutting into slices.
