A quick yet impressive appetizer that combines savory ham, melty cheese, and buttery, flaky pastry.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups All-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
3/4 cup (110°F) Warm water
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup Ham (thinly sliced)
1 cup Cheese (Swiss or cheddar, shredded)
1 (beaten) Egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or until frothy.
Add melted butter, salt, and flour. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Layer the sliced ham and shredded cheese evenly over the dough.
Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, brush with the beaten egg, and let them rise for another 15 minutes.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these melt-in-your-mouth cheese rolls warm!
