Ham and Cheese Bread

Hb is fasting today so i decided to bake him ham and cheese bread to go with mix salad..

He said i added in a bit too much of cheese as topping... welp.. so true! hehhe oh well next time i will use different kind of topping..




Ingredients
250g bread flour
30g sugar
20g milk powder
6g instant yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp bread softener
2 egg yolk
130 ml fresh milk
30 g butter (melted)



Filling
Turkey Ham (i used chicken sausage) (cut into small pcs)
cheddar cheese (cut into small pcs)

Topping
mozzarella cheese

Method
Put half of the flour, milk powder and yeast in a bowl, whisk to combine, add the sugar and salt whisk again. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl, use large spoon to mix everything together. Put all the remaining flour in, and knead briefly to bring all the ingredients together.

Take the dough out of the bowl and knead, you will see the dough will be elastic after about 5 minutes, add the butter at that time, knead for another 5 minutes or until the dough is soft and pliable.

Put the dough into a light buttered bowl. Let the dough rise in a warm place until double in size (can be 1 hour or 1 hour and a half check often depend on the temperature).

Line a baking paper in the pan and set aside.



Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface.Roll out the dough to a rectangle. Scatter ham and cheddar cheese all over the dough and roll the dough toward you starting at the top, gently pressing as you go to form a tight log.



Cut the dough into 6 pieces, then place the dough, cut side down in the prepared pan

Preheat the oven to 200C



Let the dough rise until almost double in size; pour mozarella cheese over the top. Bake for 10 minutes then reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for 10-15 minutes more.
