Sweet Ham Rolls

Directions

1. 1

   In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour, dry yeast, egg, milk, heavy cream, salt, and sugar. Mix for 4 or 5 minutes until the dough comes together.

2. 2

   Continue mixing and add butter in 2 or 3 batches. Mix until a soft and elastic dough forms, which should take between 8 to 10 minutes or more. Check for the ‘windowpane’ effect. If the dough still breaks, let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes and then test it again.

3. 3

   Form the dough into one ball and let it rest for 2 or 3 hours.

4. 4

   Lightly spray your work surface with water or oil. Degass and roll out the dough into an even rectangle.

5. 5

   Brush the dough with honey and add the ham, covering 3/4 of the dough surface. Roll up the dough like a log.

6. 6

   Cut rolls in any amount of pieces you want.

7. 7

   Transfer the rolls to a oiled baking pan 9x5inch and cover. Let proof for 2-3 hours until puffy.

8. 8

   Brush with egg wash before baking. Bake at 350°F for 35- 40 minutes. After the first 25 minutes, cover with foil to avoid burning.
