Each of us sometimes has moments when ordinary sandwiches with sausage or just sausages are bored. I want something new, tasty and original ... But what exactly? We bring to your attention the delicious and delicious buns with cheese and ham. They will be able to cook even those who cook with “you”. There are many ways to cook. We will consider a couple.
Bun Puff Pastry
Ham and cheese puff pastry for buns is not necessary to do on their own. In our modern world, you can buy it. But if someone had a desire to make puff pastry at home, then below we offer his recipe.
The ingredients we need:
- cold butter - 250 g;
- flour - 240 g;
- ice water - 130 mm;
- salt is a small pinch.
Mix the salt, water and flour with a spoon. In no case do this with your hands, because the dough will heat up from the warmth of your hands. Roll the result of mixing into a ball and cut it with a knife crosswise. Roll out the dough in the shape of a cross. Butter is thoroughly beaten so that it takes the form of an oval. After that, place it in the middle of the cruciform dough and wrap it completely. Remember that the oil must be wrapped whole, without a single gap.
Turn the dough “face” down, and then roll it into a thin and long layer. Fold it three times. You should get 3 layers of dough, and between them butter. Then we send it to the refrigerator for 10 minutes. After time, we repeat the same thing about 6 times. Having done the cooling and folding process, the finished dough can be used in baking.
Cooking puff pastries with ham and cheese
The first cooking option is the simplest, consisting of basic elements.
We will need:
- layers of purchased puff pastry;
- ham;
- soft cheese.
We spread one layer of dough on the table. We cut the ham in the quantity we need and lay it on the bed. After that, cover the ham with slices of cheese. Gently roll the dough into a roll and cut into pieces. The approximate size of almost finished buns should be from 3 to 5 cm. We leave the result on a pre-prepared baking sheet for about 15 minutes. If you wish, you can sprinkle sesame seeds or greens on top of the buns. We heat the oven to 180 degrees and bake buns until all of them are rosy. Your cheese and ham rolls are ready!
Second cooking option
These buns can be prepared for breakfast. It’s also convenient to pack them in a container and take them with you to the office as a snack.
What we need:
- ham - 300 g;
- egg - 1 pc.;
- baking paper;
- poppy or sesame - 2 tbsp. l .;
- cheese - 300 g.
First of all, you need to cut the ham and cheese into eight slices. Cheese can be grated, but to save time, this is optional, because at the time of baking rolls of cheese and ham in the oven, this ingredient will melt itself. We prepare a sheet for baking, lining it with special paper. Next, take an egg, break, beat until a light foam appears. Prepare a pastry brush in advance to cover the puffs.
Note that the dough should be at room temperature. Below we give two ways to wrap buns with cheese and ham. Whichever you prefer, use it.
1. Take a layer of dough and roll it to an approximate thickness of 1-2 mm. Next, divide the knife into 4 squares. Put slices of cheese and ham on each slice. We make "envelopes". See a sample photo below.
2. Roll out the dough in the same way as in the first embodiment, but in the form of a rectangle. We cut it into 4 even rectangles. First put the cheese on one half, and then the ham. On the other half, we make about 3 cuts (we do not reach the edges). We close the filling with an incised layer of dough, pinch the edges with our fingers.
We spread the buns on a baking sheet and coat each of them with a beaten egg in advance for goldenness. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds or other seeds. Preheating the oven to 190 degrees, send the rolls there for 20 minutes. After they are cooked, you can sprinkle with herbs on top. Your meal is ready!
