Best 4 Amana Smoked Ham In Bread Dough Recipes

HAM AND CHEESE LOAF

Steps:

• Thaw the bread dough overnight, then bring to room temperature before rolling (but don't let it rise).
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the bread dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. When rolling, if the dough springs back, cover with a dry towel and let it rest for 5 minutes.
• Shingle the ham slices onto the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch of exposed dough on all sides. Sprinkle with the cheese and roll the dough into a large log, pinching together the seam and tucking the ends under to seal completely.
• Place the log, seam-side down, in the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and cooked through and the internal temperature is 200 degrees, for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Slice and serve.

AMANA SMOKED HAM IN BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• Make bread dough in the usual manner. Let rise once and punch down.
• Roll out the bread dough to make a large oval approximately 3/4-inch thick. Set the ham in the middle of the dough and bring up ends and sides to cover the ham completely. Seal the edges by painting them with a little of the beaten egg thinned with the milk. Place the ham on a cookie sheet, cover lightly with a damp kitchen towel, and set aside in a warm, draft- free place for the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the dough-wrapped ham in the oven, and immediately reduce temperature to 250 degrees. Bake for 1 hour until bread crust is crisp and well browned.
• Remove from oven, and let stand for approximately 15 minutes. To serve, remove the top layer of bread. Then slice the ham thinly, cutting right down through the bottom layer of bread, which will be impregnated with the ham juices. Serve with slices or broken chunks of bread from the top layer as well as the bottom layer.

PAN DE JAMON (HAM BREAD)

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the water and the sugar; add the yeast and let stand for 15 minutes until it has a "head".
• Add the butter to the warm milk, the sugar and the salt.
• Pour the milk onto the flour, mix and add the yeast.
• Make a dough and knead for 15 minutes.
• Beat down on a table and put in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth.
• Set aside for an hour.
• Roll out the dough with a rolling pin.
• Coat with butter.
• Arange the ham, bacon, olives and the raisins (except for a small part at the end, so you can seal the bread up).
• Roll it up like a swiss roll and brush the"tongue" with some egg to seal it.
• Bake at 350° F for 3/4 of an hour.
• Serve cool.
• Can be kept in fridge for up to 4 days.
• Sprinkle with water and heat up on a low heat before serving.

PAN DE JAMóN (VENEZUELAN HAM BREAD)

Steps:

• Make the bread: In a small pot over medium-low heat, scald milk. When milk is near boiling and bubbles form around the edge of the pot, remove from heat and let cool.
• In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup warm water and 2 tablespoons sugar and mix well. Add yeast and let rest for 5 minutes or until bubbly.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, the rest of the sugar and the salt on medium-low speed just to combine. With mixer running, add eggs, cooled scalded milk and yeast mixture. Mix on medium speed until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.
• Place flours in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Change out the stand mixer attachment for a dough hook and slowly add flours to butter mixture about 1/2 cup at a time, until fully incorporated. The dough should pull away from the bowl's edges relatively cleanly. Let rest in bowl for about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle all-purpose flour on a clean work surface. Scrape out dough and knead for 5 minutes. If dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour, but do not let it get too dry. Cut dough into 2 pieces.
• Roll each piece of dough with heavy rolling pin into a 15-by-20-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Using a small offset spatula or butter knife, spread about 3 tablespoons butter in a thin layer over the top of the dough, just enough to cover.
• Fold dough into thirds like a letter: With the short end of the dough facing you, fold up from the bottom, and then fold down from the top. Then, take the letter-shaped dough and fold one more time lengthwise, making a small square.
• Wrap each of the pieces in plastic or place each one in a plastic bag and let them rest in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. Repeat process of rolling, buttering, folding and refrigerating 2 more times with both pieces of dough. This will take a total of 12 hours, but additional chilling time between rollings is O.K., allowing you to break up the process overnight. (For instance, the first rolling can be done the night before, followed by subsequent rollings the next day.)
• Remove dough from refrigerator and divide each piece into 2 equal sections, for 4 pieces of dough in total. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll one piece into a thin 15-by-20-inch rectangle, rewrapping in plastic and returning the other pieces to the refrigerator.
• Fill the bread: Working lengthwise, put down a stripe of ham strips in a single layer. Below that place a stripe of bacon strips and below that, a sparse stripe of raisins and olives. (Make sure to use a light hand with the raisins and olives.) Repeat this pattern until the surface of the dough is covered.
• Take one of the short edges of the dough, and carefully roll it up, like a jelly roll, tucking it in as you go to make sure it is tight. When it is fully rolled, tuck the open edges on either side underneath the roll, and place the whole roll seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet so it doesn't pop open while baking. Repeat rolling-and-filling process with the other 3 pieces of dough. Place loaves on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment, 2 to a sheet. Cover loaves with a clean dish towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 2 loaves at a time for about 40 minutes, checking to make sure tops are becoming golden without burning. If loaves are browning too quickly, tent with foil.
• Prepare the glaze: While the bread bakes, add milk and sugar to a small bowl and stir to dissolve.
• At the 40-minute mark, pull the loaves out of the oven, and, using a pastry brush, glaze their tops. Bake for another 5 minutes, until the loaves have a slight sheen and are deep golden brown in color. Remove from oven and let bread rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
