Muffuletta Hand Pies

Ingredients

Creole Olive Salad, recipe to follow

Single Pie Dough

6 slices cooked ham

6 slices salami

4 slices mozzerella

4 slices provolone

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon seeds, preferably sesame seeds

 

 

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the pie dough until its about 14" in diameter and cut in half. Put about 2 tablespoons of the olive salad on the bottom of half each hand pie, leaving a 1" border of dough on the edges. Layer on the ham, salami, and cheeses. Top the meats and cheese with more olive salad. Fold over the other half of each pie dough and twist the edges together to seal the hand pie. Place each hand pie on a greased baking sheet. Brush on a bit of canola oil and sprinkle seeds over the top of each pie. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown.
