\"Ham<\/p>\n

Here is a fun, easy way to pack lunch right into your loaf of bread. No, I don’t mean the typical sandwich our kids are sick to death of, I mean ham and cheese (or whatever you are in the mood for) is folded into the dough and baked as a loaf: pull-apart bread! Each slice is a sandwich. In order to get the layers to keep their shape, I made the dough with bread flour, which boosts the amount of gluten and gives the loaf a little more structure. To make it a touch healthier (I’m constantly sneaking whole grains where kids will never see them) I also used whole wheat flour. This technique would work equally well with many other doughs from our books.<\/p>\n

\"Sliced<\/p>\n

As the name suggests you can just pull sections of the loaf apart, but I sliced into this one to show you how the ham and cheese ends up woven through the bread.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ham and Cheese Pull-Apart Bread<\/h2>\n

The dough I used is the European Peasant Bread recipe (page 46)\u00a0Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day<\/a>, but I substituted the bread flour for the all-purpose in equal parts. (see Jeff’s post on using bread flour in other recipes<\/a>).<\/p>\n

8 to 12 slices ham<\/p>\n

8 to 12 slices of your favorite cheese<\/p>\n

\"Bread<\/p>\n

After the dough has been chilled, pull out a 1 1\/2 pound piece. If you want a bigger loaf you can increase this to 2 pounds of dough.<\/p>\n

\"Bread<\/p>\n

Roll the dough out to a 1\/4-inch-thick rectangle and cut it with a Pizza Wheel <\/a>into eight equal pieces (If you used 2 pounds of dough, then cut 12 pieces).<\/p>\n

\"Ham<\/p>\n

Stretch each piece to about 1\/8-inch-thick rectangle and cover with ham and cheese. I used one slice of each. Fold the dough in half over the filling. Stack the pieces together.<\/p>\n

\"Ham<\/p>\n

Place the stack of dough, with the open side of the fold facing up, in a greased 8.5 x 4.5 Inch Loaf Pan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Ham<\/p>\n

Allow it to rise for 1 1\/2 hours (two hours if you used 2 pounds of dough). You will notice from my photos that the dough doesn’t rise much before baking, this is normal for our recipes.<\/p>\n

\"Ham<\/p>\n

Bake the bread at 400\u00b0F for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has caramelized. No need for a baking stone or steam with this loaf.<\/p>\n

\"Ham<\/p>\n

Allow to cool.<\/p>\n

\"Ham<\/p>\n

Pull the loaf apart and enjoy or…<\/p>\n

\"Slices<\/p>\n

for a less savage approach, you can cut neat slices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
