Ham Cheese Chipotle Bread Balls | Easy Home Meals & Mama Latina Tips

Ingredients

• 1 Bridgford Ready-Dough frozen loaf
• 1 6-8 oz. bag of Sargento shredded cheese or Snack Bites™ of your choice
• 7 oz. sliced or cubed ham of your choice, in 16 even pieces
• Ground chipotle pepper (look in the spice section)
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• A little bit of flour
• 2 baking sheets
• Kitchen brush
• Plastic wrap
• Defrost the loaf following the instructions in the bag, I like moving it from the freezer to the fridge the night before.
• Cut the loaf into 16 even pieces.
• Place the bread balls on the greased baking sheets. Brush olive oil on top, sprinkle with a little bit of grown chipotle pepper and finish with a little bit of cheese if you like.
• Loosely cover with plastic wrap and put the baking sheets in a warm place away from drafts. Let the bread balls rest until they double in size.
• Remove your baking sheets, from wherever you have been letting the bread balls rise, when they’ve doubled in size.
• Preheat oven. Remove plastic and place in oven.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (approx 180 degrees C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool down for 5 minutes and transfer to a rack.
• Eat with your favorite dipping sauce. I like salsa verde, guacamole and marinara.
