Savory Ham and Cheese Rolls – Pinwheel Style
Fluffy rolls filled with ham and cheese, shaped like cinnamon rolls with a savory twist.
Ingredients
- 600 grams flour
- 2 eggs
- 7 grams dry yeast (or equivalent fresh yeast) (or 20 grams fresh yeast)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 200 ml milk
- 100 grams butter at room temperature
- 250 grams ham sliced
- 250 grams cheese sliced or grated (Gouda or mozzarella)
- 1 tsp mustard or butter to brush the dough
- 1 egg for eggwash (or some milk) to brush the rolls before baking.
Instructions
- In a small bowl, put half of the warm milk, add the yeast and half the sugar, mix, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, put the flour and the salt.
- Add the rest of the warm milk, the eggs, and the activated yeast mixture.
- Mix until combined.
- Add the butter, cut into small chunks, and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Brush with melted butter and spread the mustard.
- Add the ham and the cheese evenly across the surface. Roll tightly into a log.
- Cut into slices about 3 centimeters thick and arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray. Let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Brush with egg wash or a little milk.
- Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sugar on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Fresh yeast is usually used in about triple the amount of dry yeast.
So, 7 grams dry yeast ≈ 21 grams fresh yeast.
