16 Dic Ham Bread With Cream Cheese
Ingredients:
600 g wheat flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
5 tablespoons sugar
10 g dry yeast
250 ml warm water
2 tablespoons powdered milk
A pinch of salt
1 kg smoked ham
400 g cream cheese
100 g olives
100 g raisins
Preparation:
Mix the warm water with one tablespoon of sugar and the yeast. Let it rest for 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, egg, butter, powdered milk, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead until everything comes together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.
Divide it into two portions and roll each one into a rectangle.
Spread the ham over two-thirds of each rectangle. Add the olives, raisins, and spread the cream cheese evenly.
Roll carefully and place the loaves on a floured baking tray. Poke the surface with a fork and brush with beaten egg.
Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes, until golden.
Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing to achieve firm, perfect pieces.
