Ham in bread dough

Spread the love

Ingredients for 6 servings:

  • 1 ham, small (approx. 1500g)
  • 800 g dough, rye bread dough (homemade or from the bakery)
  • 2 egg yolks

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Roll out the bread dough, trim the rind from the ham, and wrap the ham in the dough, brushing the seams with egg yolk. Cut out decorations from the remaining dough and stick them onto the dough shell with egg yolk. Prick the dough with a fork and bake the ham in a greased roasting pan at 180°C fan-assisted oven for approx. 90-120 minutes. After baking, slice with a sharp knife (an electric knife is best). We serve it with a potato and cucumber salad. The leavened rye bread dough makes the ham particularly moist and flavorful.
