Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon active or instant dry yeast
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/3 cups flour

For Filling

  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 9 ounces Smithfield Anytime Favorites Diced Ham
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the warm water. Let dissolve. Using the flat paddle mixer attachment stir in the oil. Add egg, salt and 1 cup of flour.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a 12 cup muffin pan very well. Divide dough into 12 equal balls.
  • Place each dough ball in muffin cup and press along bottom and sides to form a well in the center.
  • Combine spinach mixture, Smithfield Anytime Favorites Diced Ham and Swiss cheese.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop divide Smithfield Anytime Favorites Diced Ham and Swiss mixture evenly among the 12 cups.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted.
