Hamn Cheese Picnic Bread Recipes

HAM AND CHEESE LOAF

Steps:

• Thaw the bread dough overnight, then bring to room temperature before rolling (but don't let it rise).
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the bread dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. When rolling, if the dough springs back, cover with a dry towel and let it rest for 5 minutes.
• Shingle the ham slices onto the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch of exposed dough on all sides. Sprinkle with the cheese and roll the dough into a large log, pinching together the seam and tucking the ends under to seal completely.
• Place the log, seam-side down, in the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and cooked through and the internal temperature is 200 degrees, for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Slice and serve.

HAM AND CHEESE PICNIC BREAD

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the flour, egg, butter, sugar and salt; mix well. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large mixing, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Combine the ham, cheese, pimento, and olive in a medium mixing bowl; set aside.
• Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat the dough into a 10x14 inch rectangle. Make parallel cuts 3/4 inch wide and 2 inches long on the two long edges of the rectangle. Evenly spread the filling mixture over the center of the rectangle. Fold the short ends of the rectangle over the filling. Starting from one of these ends, alternately stretch strips from the two sides across the filling so that the strips overlap diagonally. Transfer the loaf to a lightly greased baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

HAM & CHEESE PULL-APART BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190 C).
• In a small bowl, combine French's Dijon Mustard and softened butter.
• Using a serrated knife, cut ¾-inch (2 cm) slices in the bread without cutting all the way through so the bottom of the loaf stays intact (similar to a Hasselback potato).
• Using about half the mixture, brush dijon butter between each bread slice. Reserve the rest of the butter for later.
• Stack a slice of ham on top of a slice of cheese, fold stack in half, and wedge it in between each bread slice so the cheese is against the bread. Repeat with remaining cheese and ham slices.
• Brush remaining dijon butter over loaf and top with shredded Gruyère.
• Wrap loaf in aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then unwrap the foil and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

HAM AND CHEESE QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard, kosher salt and cayenne until combined. In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup milk, the oil, 1 tablespoon honey and the eggs until smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Then fold in the ham, 3/4 cup shredded cheese, the diced cheese and scallions.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Bake until well risen, golden brown and a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon each honey and milk and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard until smooth. Heat in the microwave until hot and bubbling, 20 to 30 seconds. Turn the loaf onto a wire rack and generously brush with the warm glaze. Cool completely.

SAVORY GRUYèRE BREAD WITH HAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a metal 9 × 5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir in the chopped ham, scallions if using, thyme, and 1¾ cups (7 ounces) of the Gruyère (reserving the rest for topping). In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and buttermilk. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be thick.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (1 ounce) cheese over the top. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.

FIG & SERRANO HAM PICNIC BREAD

Steps:

• Tip the bread mix into a large mixing bowl with the shredded sage and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Put 2 tbsp of the oil and the garlic in a jug with the amount of water stated on the bread mix pack. Stir the liquid into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, then bring the dough together with your hands and knead for 5 mins on a floured surface until smooth. Return to the mixing bowl, cover with oiled cling film and leave to rise until doubled in size.
• Punch the dough a few times to knock out the air, then divide into 8 portions. Roll each to a flattish bap shape on a lightly floured surface and arrange in a roughly 20 x 30cm roasting tin. Toss the whole sage leaves, figs, onion and ham with 1 tbsp of the oil, then scatter these over the top. Use your fingers to press the toppings into the bread a little, and spread the bread to fill any gaps. Cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave to rise for 20 mins until it has puffed up.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Drizzle over the remaining oil, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, and bake for 30 mins until risen, golden and crisp on top. Leave to cool in the tin for 15 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Pack back into the tin to transport to a picnic, and tear the bread into 8 portions.

CHEESE, CHIVE & HAM TEAR-AND-SHARE BREAD

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a pan and add the sugar and butter. Warm gently, swirling the pan until the butter has melted. Set aside until lukewarm.
• Tip the salt, mustard, flour and yeast into a large mixing bowl and stir. Make a well in the centre, then pour in the beaten eggs and milk mixture. Swiftly mix with a wooden spoon to make a rough dough, then tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 mins until elastic and springy. Alternatively, knead in a stand mixer for 7-10 mins using the hook attachment. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl. Put the dough in the bowl and cover loosely with a tea towel. Leave in a warm place for 1½-2 hrs or until doubled in size.
• Knock the dough back on a lightly floured surface by lightly punching and briefly kneading it. Sprinkle over half the cheese, all of the chives and all the ham. Knead the dough until the ham and cheese are well distributed. Divide the dough into 18 equal-sized balls. Pinch the bottoms to create uniform, round balls. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and draw a 25cm round template on the parchment (a large dinner plate works well for this). Arrange the dough balls in concentric circles in the circle you have drawn. Fill each gap with another scattering of cheese. Cover lightly. Leave for 1-1½ hrs or until the dough is risen.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Beat the remaining egg and use to lightly brush the dough balls. Sprinkle over most of the remaining cheese, then bake for 25 mins. Sprinkle over the last of the cheese and bake for 5 mins more. Leave to cool a little before serving warm.
