Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk with the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active.

Step 2

Add the butter, salt, and flour to the bowl. Mix and knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms, about 8-10 minutes by hand or 4-5 minutes using a stand mixer with a dough hook.

Step 3

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Punch the risen dough down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.

Step 6

Layer the ham slices evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the ham.

Step 8

Starting from the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log, pinching the seam to seal.

Step 9

Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces and place them, cut sides up, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the rolls generously with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 12

Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
