We think you’ll agree that these Ham and Pineapple Roll-Ups are so easy to make. It’s a great meal that the entire family will love. You can’t go wrong with these delicious roll-ups.
We partially thaw some store bought roll dough and roll up the ham, pineapple, and Swiss cheese inside. When they come out of the oven we cover them with a little melted butter.
You could easily make these roll-ups with your own bread dough recipe. We like the convenience of store bought frozen roll dough. After you thaw the rolls for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, the rest is quick and easy.

These roll-ups can be completely made and the leftovers will freeze great. Then just thaw and reheat in the microwave when ready to eat. They make a quick lunch, meal, or snack.
can you use homemade bread dough in place of the store bought?
We have always used the frozen roll dough from the grocery store for convenience. But if you have a favorite homemade roll dough, you could easily use homemade in place of the store bought dough.
You will want to roll each homemade roll dough ball into a 5-6 inch circle. Then follow the rest of the recipe as directed.

Follow these easy steps on how to make Ham and Pineapple Roll-Ups. The full recipe with measurements and directions is listed further down in this post.
- Thaw 12 frozen dinner rolls in a plastic storage or freezer bag for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until soft. You don’t want the rolls to start rising.
- Roll out each roll into a 6 inch circle with a rolling pin and stretch it out with your hands.

- Place a slice of ham on each roll. You don’t want it to hang over, so if it’s wider than the roll, cut it in half and lay on top of each other or if it’s thin enough, just fold over.
- Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the ham.
- Then place 3 pineapple chunks on top of the cheese.
- Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the seams shut with your fingers.
