Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 slices Sliced ham
• 8 slices Sliced Swiss cheese
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix together until it forms a soft dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8–10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x10 inches.

Step 6

Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the surface of the dough.

Step 7

Layer the ham slices over the mustard, followed by the Swiss cheese slices.

Step 8

Roll the dough tightly into a log shape, starting from one of the long edges. Pinch the seam and the ends to seal.

Step 9

Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top and sides of the stuffed bread.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, make diagonal slashes on top of the bread for steam to escape while baking.

Step 12

Let the dough rest for 15 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
