For those who want to bake their own bread at home, this time we'd like to share a recipe for a fragrant, mouth-watering ham and cheese bread that's sure to make you crave it.
Ingredients
- 250 ml cow's milk
- 2 eggs (beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water)
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 64 grams of cake flour and 448 grams of bread flour
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 12 slices of ham
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 85 grams Heavy Cream
Step-by-step preparation
1. In a stand mixer, add the milk, 1 egg, Heavy Cream, sugar, cake flour, bread flour, yeast, and salt, and mix for about 15 minutes. (If you don't have a mixer, you'll need to knead the dough thoroughly by hand until it forms a ball. In that case, you'll need to spend an extra 5 to 10 minutes.)
2. Once you have a large ball of dough, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about an hour. You'll notice that the dough has grown to about one and a half times its original size.
3. Put the risen dough back into the mixer and mix again for about 5 minutes. Then divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll out each small piece of dough with a rolling pin, place a slice of ham on it, then add a slice of cheese, and roll it up.
4. Make three knife slits on the top surface of each rolled dough piece. Once all the dough pieces are rolled, cover them with a clean, damp cloth and let them rest for about an hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the damp cloth, and brush the dough pieces with the pre-beaten egg wash. Then place them in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
Once the time is up, you'll have golden-browned, fragrant ham and cheese bread rolls ready to enjoy.
