Notes: When I am not up for making the bread dough I "cheat" and use ready made dough. I have gotten the pizza dough balls and used a couple of them - sometimes using one regular and one wheat. Much less work and tastes almost as good! I often will make this with leftover ham or purchase a ham steak and use that.
