Health Benefits

These Ham and Cheese Bread Rolls are not just delicious; they also offer some nutritional benefits:

 

• • Ham: A good source of protein, ham provides essential amino acids needed for muscle repair and growth. It also contains vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins and zinc.
  • Cheese: Rich in calcium and protein, cheese helps support bone health and muscle function. It also adds a creamy texture and savory flavor to the rolls.

 

• Milk and Eggs: Both are high in protein and contain important nutrients such as vitamin D, calcium, and choline, which support overall health.
• Sesame Seeds: These seeds add a nice crunch and are packed with nutrients, including healthy fats, fiber, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals.

Cooking Tips

 

1. 1. Use Warm Ingredients: Ensure the milk is warm (not hot) to activate the yeast properly. Cold ingredients can slow down the yeast activation process.
   2. Knead the Dough Well: Kneading the dough for about 10 minutes helps develop gluten, which gives the bread its soft and fluffy texture.
   3. Let the Dough Rise Properly: Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size. This usually takes about an hour but can vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen.

 

1. Seal the Rolls Well: When folding the dough over the filling, make sure to seal the edges properly to prevent the cheese and ham from leaking out during baking.
2. Apply the Egg Wash: Brushing the rolls with an egg wash gives them a beautiful golden brown color and a shiny finish.
