a tomato sauce for the base - I just used tomato puree mixed with some garlic puree and some basil
grated cheese - approx 50g
1 packet of ham approx 120g
1 beaten egg (egg wash)
Instructions
*Make the dough* (I used my Kenwood Mixer)
Place the flour, basil, yeast, honey and salt into a large bowl of a stand alone mixer
Make a well in the middle and pour in the water.
Using the dough hook, switch the mixer on low to start with (to avoid flour flying everywhere) and then aftr about 1 minute, increase the speed to medium and knead the dough for at least 10 mins until smooth and elastic.
Then place the dough in a clean oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea towell, cling film, or like me, a carrier bag, and leave to rise until doubled in size. I foudn this took about an hour
Once risen, gently knock back the dough by tipping it back onto a floured surface and push the air out.
Then roll the dough out in to an oblong approx 40 x 25 cm which is not too thin or too thick
Spread the tomato sauce over the base, scatter the ham and then the cheese
Carefully, tuck in the smaller sides, and then roll into a long sausage shape ensuring that the fold is at the bottom.
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and place the loaf on to it, cover with a bag and leave to proof for 30 minutes
Pre heat the oven to 200oC / 180oC (fan)
Then brush the loaf with the beaten egg and place in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown and puffed up
Leave to cool before slicing to serve.
