Ham and Cheese Bites

Divide the pizza dough into 30 equal-ish pieces. Let rest.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Lay out one piece of deli ham. Top with a cube each of mozzarella and Swiss cheese. Tuck the ham around the cheese to form a little packet. Place on a plate. Repeat with remaining ham and cheese. Set the plate aside.

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bottom of a 9″x13″ rimmed baking pan. Repeat in another pan with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of Semolina Flour or Corn Meal over the olive oil in each of the pans.

Working with one piece of dough at a time, spread out into a circle (or blob) roughly twice the size of your ham packets. If the dough tears, do your best to patch the holes before wrapping the dough around the ham and cheese. Pinch the dough closed and make sure there are no openings. Place the dough, seam side down, in the prepared pans. Repeat with the remaining dough, making five rows of three dough balls in each pan.

Place the butter, chives, onion, garlic, and seasoning salt into a small microwave-safe dish. Warm in the microwave until the butter is melted. Stir together with a fork and brush over the dough. Place pans into hot oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. If desired, you can brush again with any leftover butter when you remove the pans from the oven. Allow to rest for five minutes before removing from the pans. Serve warm with your favorite sauce.
