👩🍳 Directions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Roll Out the Dough
Unroll the pizza or crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface. If using pizza dough, cut it into 8 equal rectangles. If using crescent dough, separate into triangles and gently stretch each one slightly.
3. Assemble the Sticks
Place one slice of ham onto each piece of dough, folding it if needed to fit. Lay one cheese stick on top of the ham.
4. Roll & Seal
Carefully roll the dough around the ham and cheese, tucking in the sides and pinching the seams to seal completely. This helps prevent cheese from leaking while baking.
