Method

  • step 1

    Make the dough, leave to rise and knock back as stated. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.

  • step 2

    On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a rough rectangle about 40 x 25cm. Spread the sauce over the dough, leaving a small border, and scatter over the ham, mozzarella and basil. Tuck the short sides in and roll up the long side like a Swiss roll. Lift onto a tray, seal-side down, and brush with the egg. Bake for 30 mins until puffed up and golden – don’t worry if there are a few cracks. Leave to cool slightly, then serve sliced on a board.

Made this with whole meal dough that the bread machine sorted for us (2x 7yr olds and I)... absolutely delicious. We may have overstuffed as even seam side down, It had a cheesy/tomatoey break out but I’ll blame that on the kids. Both loved it as did husband- I was going to slice and put in freezer…

question

Can you use an alternative to tomato sauce or leave it out completely

Absolutely delicious! I cooked and crumbled sausage meat and used that instead of the ham. This is a definite keeper!

I didn't use beaten egg, I realised only now that I should have put it in the oven seal side down, that probably would have made sure it didn't unroll as much. I made a bigger one, which I wouldn't do again, it was too difficult to move when uncooked. I did use some pesto and made my own tomato…

Why do you need to brush it with a beaten egg - does it work without this or not?
