Prosciutto Bread With Provolone Recipes

PROSCIUTTO BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll the French bread dough and sprinkle with the pepper. Cover with the prosciutto. Roll into a log and twist, pulling and shaping it into an 8-inch ring. Pinch the ends together.
• Place on the prepared baking sheet, brush with the oil and bake until golden, 20 minutes. Brush with more oil; bake 5 more minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more oil before serving.

PROSCIUTTO AND PROVOLONE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Grease an 8-inch loaf pan, and then set aside.
• In a deep bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and salt if using with a fork. Add half of the prosciutto and provolone, and all of the croissant pieces. Use a rubber spatula to stir until well mixed. Pour into the prepared pan. Press the croissants down with the spatula to help them absorb the milk mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and prosciutto on top. Cover with foil, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake until puffed and the cheese is golden, 30 minutes more. Serve hot.

PROSCIUTTO AND PROVOLONE ON SOURDOUGH BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic and brush on the sourdough bread.
• Grill the sourdough bread over a moderate flame until the bread is toasted.
• Arrange some of the proscuitto, cheese and watercress in between two slices of bread and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Cut in half on the diagonal.

CLASSIC ITALIAN PRESSED BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Split the baguette open and lightly brush with oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the roasted pepper. Layer on the prosciutto, provolone, basil, red pepper, balsamic glaze and salami. Top with the top half of the baguette. (Layering the meat on the bottom and top of the sandwich prevents the fillings from soaking through and making the bread soggy.)
• Put a bowl or other heavy object (such as a large can or jar) on the sandwich to press it for 1 hour before serving. Or, pack it in the bottom of your lunchbox, under a glass container or drink.

PROSCIUTTO AND PROVOLONE PANINI SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Heat a panini grill or waffle iron. Brush oil over bread slices. Turn 4 slices over; spread pesto evenly over bread. Top with half of the cheese, tearing to fit if necessary, all of the prosciutto and pepper strips and remaining cheese. Close sandwiches with remaining bread oiled sides up.
• Cook (in batches) in panini maker* or waffle iron 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
