Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 can (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
Filling
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 1 cup chopped ham
- 3/4 cup finely chopped broccoli
- 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking and to help achieve an even golden crust.
- Roll Out Dough: Press the refrigerated pizza dough out onto the prepared baking sheet or a flat surface to create a large rectangle, approximately 12 x 16 inches. This will serve as the base for your filling and rolling.
- Prepare Filling Spread: In a small bowl, blend the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and well combined. This mixture will add creaminess and richness to the filling.
- Assemble the Filling: Evenly spread the cream cheese and butter mixture over the entire surface of the dough rectangle. Then, distribute the chopped ham, finely chopped broccoli, shredded mild cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped green onions evenly over the cream cheese layer, ensuring a balanced distribution for every bite.
- Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough up from one long side into a tight log, making sure to pinch the seam to seal the roll completely. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 12 equal one-inch pieces to form individual rolls.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the sliced rolls cut side up on the greased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden brown on top and the cheeses inside are bubbly and melted.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm, flavorful spiral stuffed rolls as an appetizer, snack, or party treat.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add extra vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat cheddar to make a lighter version.
- Ensure the dough is rolled tightly to avoid the filling spilling out during baking.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
- You may substitute broccoli with spinach or kale if preferred.
