Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 9h30m

Yield 4 to 6 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 1-pound loaf frozen bread dough
Nonstick cooking spray
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 pound shaved Virginia ham
1/2 pound Irish Cheddar or other white Cheddar, grated

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.

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 eggs
One 6-ounce piece deli ham, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese, lightly packed (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup finely diced (about 1/4-inch) havarti or gruyere cheese (about 2 ounces)
2 scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard, kosher salt and cayenne until combined. In a large bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup milk, the oil, 1 tablespoon honey and the eggs until smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Then fold in the ham, 3/4 cup shredded cheese, the diced cheese and scallions.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Bake until well risen, golden brown and a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon each honey and milk and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard until smooth. Heat in the microwave until hot and bubbling, 20 to 30 seconds. Turn the loaf onto a wire rack and generously brush with the warm glaze. Cool completely.

Provided by MARBALET

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     White Bread Recipes

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped ham
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento peppers, drained
½ cup black olives, drained and chopped

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the flour, egg, butter, sugar and salt; mix well. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large mixing, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Combine the ham, cheese, pimento, and olive in a medium mixing bowl; set aside.
  • Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat the dough into a 10x14 inch rectangle. Make parallel cuts 3/4 inch wide and 2 inches long on the two long edges of the rectangle. Evenly spread the filling mixture over the center of the rectangle. Fold the short ends of the rectangle over the filling. Starting from one of these ends, alternately stretch strips from the two sides across the filling so that the strips overlap diagonally. Transfer the loaf to a lightly greased baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

HAM & CHEESE PULL-APART BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Ham & Cheese Pull-Apart Bread Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, French's Dijon Mustard, italian bread loaf, monterey jack cheese, deli ham, gruyère cheese, fresh parsley

Provided by Tayo Ola

Categories     Snacks

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup French's Dijon Mustard
1 italian bread loaf
16 oz monterey jack cheese
12 oz deli ham
5 oz gruyère cheese, shredded
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190 C).
  • In a small bowl, combine French's Dijon Mustard and softened butter.
  • Using a serrated knife, cut ¾-inch (2 cm) slices in the bread without cutting all the way through so the bottom of the loaf stays intact (similar to a Hasselback potato).
  • Using about half the mixture, brush dijon butter between each bread slice. Reserve the rest of the butter for later.
  • Stack a slice of ham on top of a slice of cheese, fold stack in half, and wedge it in between each bread slice so the cheese is against the bread. Repeat with remaining cheese and ham slices.
  • Brush remaining dijon butter over loaf and top with shredded Gruyère.
  • Wrap loaf in aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then unwrap the foil and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

SAVORY GRUYèRE BREAD WITH HAM



Savory Gruyère Bread With Ham image

The ham and cheese-filled loaf is the savory quick bread you didn't know you needed. We love it with Gruyère, but sharp cheddar works just as well.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     cookbooks     Bread     Cheese     Ham     Green Onion/Scallion

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons (½ stick/56 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for the pan
2½ cups (325 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (180 grams) coarsely chopped ham
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 cups (8 ounces/198 grams) grated Gruyère or sharp cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a metal 9 × 5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir in the chopped ham, scallions if using, thyme, and 1¾ cups (7 ounces) of the Gruyère (reserving the rest for topping). In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and buttermilk. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be thick.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (1 ounce) cheese over the top. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality ham and cheese for the best flavor.
  • To ensure even cooking, roll the bread tightly and seal the edges well.
  • If you don't have a baking stone, you can bake the bread on a greased baking sheet.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the bread with your favorite dipping sauce or spread.
