I made these for a birthday party and they were a hit! The only thing I did different was to spread the dough with honey mustard before rolling it up.

I made these yesterday and this receipe was my first test of a recipezaar recipe. I added my finely chopped fresh basil to the honey mustard and brushed it on the dough with a pastry brush. I do need to work on my rolling "technique" for a tighter roll. DH said they "were even good cold!". Thank you for a pleasant first experience with recipezaar!

We made this for a bridal shower appetizer and they were a hit! I cut the pizza dough in half widthwise, so they weren't so big, and we used sliced deli swiss instead of shredded cheese. Since I wasn't sure if everyone liked mustard, I brushed it with egg instead and also brushed the top to give it a golden brown color. They didn't cook as round as I would have hoped, and a few fell apart, but I think cutting them thicker would have helped!!!

We served this as part of my Daughter's 10th birthday party formal tea party. They weren't as popular with the kids, but my husband and I really enjoyed them. I even froze the leftovers and they froze great! Thanks for sharing!
