Amana Smoked Ham In Bread Dough Recipes

AMANA SMOKED HAM IN BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• Make bread dough in the usual manner. Let rise once and punch down.
• Roll out the bread dough to make a large oval approximately 3/4-inch thick. Set the ham in the middle of the dough and bring up ends and sides to cover the ham completely. Seal the edges by painting them with a little of the beaten egg thinned with the milk. Place the ham on a cookie sheet, cover lightly with a damp kitchen towel, and set aside in a warm, draft- free place for the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the dough-wrapped ham in the oven, and immediately reduce temperature to 250 degrees. Bake for 1 hour until bread crust is crisp and well browned.
• Remove from oven, and let stand for approximately 15 minutes. To serve, remove the top layer of bread. Then slice the ham thinly, cutting right down through the bottom layer of bread, which will be impregnated with the ham juices. Serve with slices or broken chunks of bread from the top layer as well as the bottom layer.

PAN DE JAMON (HAM BREAD)

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the water and the sugar; add the yeast and let stand for 15 minutes until it has a "head".
• Add the butter to the warm milk, the sugar and the salt.
• Pour the milk onto the flour, mix and add the yeast.
• Make a dough and knead for 15 minutes.
• Beat down on a table and put in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth.
• Set aside for an hour.
• Roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
• Coat with butter.
• Arange the ham, bacon, olives and the raisins (except for a small part at the end, so you can seal the bread up).
• Roll it up like a swiss roll and brush the"tongue" with some egg to seal it.
• Bake at 350° F for 3/4 of an hour.
• Serve cool.
• Can be kept in fridge for up to 4 days.
• Sprinkle with water and heat up on a low heat before serving.

GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE SOURDOUGH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• On six slices of bread, layer swiss cheese and half the ham; sprinkle with garlic powder. Top with rest of ham, cheddar cheese and remaining bread. Spread butter over the top and bottom of each sandwich. Cook on an indoor grill or panini maker for 3-4 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.
