Ingredients for stuffed buns:
- 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil;
- 10g active dry yeast;
- 1 teaspoon of salt;
- 1 teaspoon of sugar;
- Water (as needed);
- 4 smashed garlic cloves;
- Chopped fresh parsley to taste;
- Olive oil to taste;
- 2 cups (8 oz) all-purpose flour;
- 1/2 cup (4 oz) milk;
- 7 ounces of ham slices;
- 7 ounces of mozzarella slices.
How to prepare stuffed buns:
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast, mixing well;
- Add the milk and olive oil, mix with your hands, and start kneading;
- Gradually add water and incorporate into the mixture;
- Work the dough until it forms a smooth texture and no longer sticks to your hands;
- Do not add more water;
- On a lightly floured surface, knead for 10-15 minutes;
- The dough should become smooth and elastic;
- To test the dough, press your index finger into it. If it slowly springs back, it’s ready to rest;
- Let the dough rest in a warm place for about 40 minutes;
- The dough will double in size;
- Roll out the dough on a flat surface using a rolling pin;
- Mix garlic, parsley, and olive oil, then spread this mixture over the dough;
- Top with ham and mozzarella;
- Roll the dough into a log, sealing the edges firmly to prevent filling from spilling;
- Let the dough rest for an additional 30 minutes;
- Brush the top with extra-virgin olive oil;
- Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F for about 30 minutes;
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Tip:
Feel free to experiment with different fillings using the same dough base. You can also cut the dough into mini buns before baking. For a golden finish, brush with egg yolk instead of olive oil before baking. Try it out!
