Bread with Ham and Cheese

I'm a meat-lover, so I like to bake bread with meat. Especially if bake with cheese, it taste so good.

Ingredients:

Dough: 2 tsb dry yeast, 2 tsb sugar, 80g warm milk, 1.5 cups bread flour, 10g lemon juice, 1 egg, 2 tbsp butter (room temperature), a pinch salt.

Filling: choped ham.

Topping: honey, water, melted butter, chopped ham and grated cheese.

Method:

1. Mix dry yeast and sugar, melted by warm milk, set aside for several minutes, or until you see lots of bubbles on the surface.

2. Add all the dough ingredients except butter into yeast mixture, form a ball.

3. Add butter to dough, punch for several minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.

4. Set dough aside until dough get double sized.

If you're in rush, you can let dough rest for about 10-15 minutes.

5. Punch dough down, seperate dough into 6-8 equal pieces.

I did 8.

6. Roll each piece into round shape, sprinkle with choped ham, then roll into a long stick, set aside until double sized.

7. Preheat oven to 350 degree.

8. Mix honey and water by ratio of 1:1, brush on top of bread, sprinkle with chopped ham, bake for about 5 minutes.

9. Take bread out of oven, sprinkle with grated cheese, then bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

10. Brush melted butter on top of bread right after taking out of oven, transfer to wired rack to cool.
