Prepare the bread: Take the six rolls and cut a square shape at the top of each one. Carefully remove the inside, creating a cavity to be filled with the delicious stuffing. This step ensures the bread will be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Cut the ham: Chop the ham into small squares. This ensures the filling is evenly distributed and that each bite is packed with flavor.
Chop the tomato: Dice the tomato into small cubes. It adds a touch of freshness and moisture to the filling, balancing perfectly with the cheese and ham.
Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, add the grated mozzarella, diced ham, and chopped tomato. This combination is irresistible and ensures your stuffed bread will have a perfect balance of flavors.
Add mayonnaise: Add three tablespoons of mayonnaise to the mix. The mayonnaise adds creaminess and ensures the filling is rich and flavorful.
Season with oregano: Add one teaspoon of oregano to the mixture. This seasoning gives the filling that distinct pizza-like flavor. Stir well so everything is evenly coated.
Stuff the bread: Now, it’s time to stuff the bread! Generously fill each bread cavity with the ham, cheese, and tomato mixture. Make sure the bread is well-packed to get the most delicious bites.
Finish with cheese: To add a final irresistible touch, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each stuffed roll. This will melt in the oven and create a golden, bubbly crust.
Bake in the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the stuffed bread for about 25 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve while hot!
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding ingredients like chopped olives, thinly sliced red onions, or even a bit of crushed red pepper for some heat. These additions will elevate the flavor of this simple, delicious recipe. And if you prefer, you can swap the ham for turkey, shredded chicken, or even ground beef to vary the filling.
