Garlic & Ham Pizza Sliders

Step 1: Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Step 2: Put pizza dough on cookie sheet or cutting board or whatever

Step 3: Sprinkle flour over dough to allow for easier handling

Step 4: Cut mound of pizza dough in 8 slices using a bread cutting knife (knife with jagged edges seems to work best)

Step 5: Take each slice of the dough, roll in your hands to make a long string like piece with the slice of dough

Step 6: Tie the dough like string in a loose knot

Step 7: Fold the end pieces over to create a round knot like shape

Step 8: Grease a 9" x 13" pan

Step 9: Please each 'dough knot' in the pan so you have 4 across, 2 down - be sure to leave good amount of room around edges of pan and ensure each knot touches the one next one, including the two rows

Step 10: Put pan with pizza knots in oven and bake for 12 minutes - be sure the tops are golden and pizza dough cooked throughout

Step 11: Take out of oven, let cool a little bit and turn oven down to 350 degrees

Step 12: With a large bread knife, slice the tops of the pizza dough knots horizontally

Step 13: Take the pizza dough top off, being very careful not to separate the individual dough knots and place aside

Step 14: Layer the following: ham over the bottom pizza dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and then generously apply the cheese

Step 15: Place the top pizza dough knots back on top (if some of the knots broke off, don't worry too much. The melted cheese will meld them together again!)

Step 16: Melt butter in bowl, insert oregano, basil leaves and garlic in butter (good idea to cut them into smaller pieces) and mix together

Step 17: With a food brush, dip into the above mixture and brush over top of pizza knots

Step 18: Put back into over and bake for 10 minutes more

Step 19: Serve and let family/friends or just you!!! rip apart the sliders and do enjoy :)
