Ham in Bread Dough
Pane-Bistecca
Ham in bread dough – it’s actually quite simple! You need bread dough and rolled ham, you can even buy cooked ham in Europe. What I will certainly do next time is decorate the bread with flowers made from dough or something. Or with cut-out figures, like cookies.
But I didn’t have time this time, because my 20 guests were at the door. They really liked the ham in bread dough and there wasn’t much left over. I had to hurry to make sure I got some of it. That’s how it goes with food that you don’t get every day.

Step 7
If you have a thermometer, you can go by degrees, the ham is done at 70 C degrees, please take it out of the oven at about 65 C degrees, as it will continue to cook in the hot bread. Mine was baked just right after 1 hour!

Leave to cool slightly and then slice the bread down the middle all the way round. Remove the lid and cut it into pieces. The bread is wonderfully crispy.
