Hand bread with fondue ham filling

Total: 2 hr 50 min. | Active: 30 min.

Ingredients

for 6 pieces

Dough
400 g white flour
100 g wholemeal flour
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
½ cube yeast (approx. 20 g), crumbled
3 ¼ dl water
2 tbsp olive oil
Filling
400 g fondue mix (preprepared)
160 g ham cubes
1 tsp thyme leaf, finely chopped
¼ tsp nutmeg

How it's done

Dough

In a bowl, mix the flour with all the other ingredients up to and including the yeast. Pour in the water and oil, mix and knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

To shape

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (approx. 35 cm x 50 cm), pressing the edge of the dough slightly flatter.

Filling

Place the cheese mixture, ham, and thyme in a bowl, mix, and season. Spread the filling onto the centre of the pastry, fold the pastry edges over the cheese filling from all sides, and place seam-side down on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Press the pastry pocket with the handle of a ladle about five times, so that six equally sized pieces are formed. Make a crosswise cut in each piece, cover, and leave to rise again for approx. 15 mins.

To bake

Approx. 35 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 240 °C. Remove and serve hot.
