Ham rolls

Ingredients for the dough

250 ml lukewarm water
1/2 pack yeast
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
380g flour
 
Ingredients for the ham filling

100 g ham
100g chopped tomatoes
1 Tbsp dried basil
100g cheese

Ingredients for gratinating

1 egg yolk
20 g grated Parmesan


Preparation

Put the lukewarm water and the dry yeast in a bowl and let stand for a few minutes until the yeast starts to foam.

Add the olive oil, salt and flour and knead everything well, adding a little more flour if necessary, until the dough is soft and supple and nothing sticks to your hands.

Cover the dough and let it rise in the bowl in a warm place for about an hour.

Then roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured work surface (approx. 20 x 30 cm).  

For the ham filling, mix the chopped tomatoes with the basil and spread on the piece of dough. Cut the ham into small pieces and sprinkle over it along with the grated cheese.

 

Then carefully roll up the filled dough from one side, cut it into approx. 2 cm thick slices and then place the rolls on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Then brush the rolls with the egg yolk and sprinkle with the Parmesan.

 

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven on the middle shelf at 400 °F (200 °C) upper and lower heat for about 15 to 20 minutes until they have risen and taken on a rich, golden color.

Let the rolls cool and serve.

Ham and sausage rolls

You can also make double the amount of dough and use one half to make sausage rolls and the other half to make ham rolls.
