Ingredients

• 200 grams Low sodium ham
• 100 grams Low fat cream cheese
• 300 grams Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 180 milliliters Low fat milk
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and baking powder.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture, rubbing it in with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the low fat milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Spread the low fat cream cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of border along the edges.

Step 7

Layer the low sodium ham slices over the cream cheese.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dried oregano and black pepper evenly over the ham and cheese.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough from the long edge into a tight roll, tucking in the ends slightly.

Step 10

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush over the roll to give it a shiny finish when baked.

Step 11

Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1-inch thick rounds.

Step 12

Place the rolls, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
