Hand-Wiches (Mini Meat and Cheese Pocket Sandwiches)

Lightly grease or line with parchment, 2 large baking sheets; set aside. Thaw rolls according to package directions. Slice each cheese slice in half; set aside. Roll up each meat slice; set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place thawed rolls on lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, press 2 pieces of dough together to form 1 piece. Continue with the remaining pieces of dough until you have 12 pieces. On the floured surface, press and flatten each dough piece to 4×6-inch rectangle (use rolling pin if needed). Continue with the remaining pieces of dough until you have 12 rectangles. Evenly space dough rectangles on prepared baking sheets, 2-3 inches apart. Press the dough out again if needed. Place 1 cheese half on one side of rectangle of dough. Top with 1 meat roll and then remaining cheese half. Fold the opposite side of dough over to cover cheese. Press seams together to make a “pocket.” Press edges with the tines of a fork to crimp the seams shut. Slice the tops with a few small slits for steam to escape. Lightly brush with egg wash. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven to cool slightly before serving.

*Can substitute with 2 loaves Bridgford Frozen Ready-Dough®, cut each thawed loaf into 12 equal pieces for a total of 24 pieces.
