4. Bake to Perfection

Variations & Tips:
Flavor Twists:
- Meat Swap: Try turkey, salami, or crispy bacon instead of ham.
- Cheese Choices: Gouda, pepper jack, or feta add delicious variety.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace ham with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or roasted red peppers.
- Extra Kick: Add a sprinkle of paprika, garlic powder, or chili flakes.
Pro Tips:
✔ Thaw pastry properly—overnight in the fridge for best results.
✔ Chill before baking if the dough gets too soft (15 mins in fridge).
✔ Serve with dips like honey mustard, ranch, or marinara.
✔ Storage:
- Fridge: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Freeze in a single layer, then store for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10-15 mins until crispy.
