Next Morning:
- Do a set of stretch and folds (Gently pull one side of the dough up and over itself and rotate and repeat on all 4 sides. Cover and place in the fridge until 2 hours prior to dinner. Or just leave out on counter if this is for lunch.
To Bake:
- Placing your dough on a lightly floured counter, spread out using your hands till flat and even.
- Using a 3″ biscuit butter cut out approx. 28 circles (pinching the sides back in as you go to keep creating circles)
- Melt the butter and mix in 1 to 2 teaspoons of garlic salt.
- Using your hands you can flatten the circles farther or use a rolling pin.
- Spread the butter on the flat circles.
- Fill with 1 tablespoon of cheese and 1 tablespoon of ham or turkey in the center of each circle.
- Fold up like a present tucking in all the sides securely to prevent cheese from melting out.
- Place onto a baking sheet (with parchment paper for easier cleanup). Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
- Slather more butter on top and bake for 15-25 minutes depending on the size you ended up doing. You’ll want a nice brown crust.
Note: If your cheese comes out during baking no biggie it’s still very delicious!
