Breakfast Bread with Ham, Egg and Cheese

The smell of freshly baked breakfast bread in bakeries have always enticed me to go in and try their bread. I have always wanted to bake my own breakfast bread with all the nice ingredients they use in the bakeries. Today I would like to share my latest baking creation. The bread turned out really nice and crispy and is perfect with my morning cuppa.





Yields 2 breads



Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
Lukewarm water to make dough
50g sliced ham, cut into pieces
2 eggs
Small onion, chopped
Cheese, sliced or small pieces (I used flavoured cheese. Any cheese will do.)
Sesame seeds
Preparation:


Mix flour, salt and dry yeast together in a bowl.
Add lukewarm water to the mixture just enough to form a dough. Knead for couple of minutes. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth. Let it rest for about an hour.
Knead the dough again for about 4-5 minutes. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and flatten them with your fingers until the thickness is about 1cm.
Let the dough rest for 40 mins to an hour.
Oil the baking tray. Place the flattened dough on the baking tray.
About 2cm from the edges, press the dough lightly with your finger-tips to form a crust.
Top up the dough with ham and onion. Break eggs in the centre. Top it up with cheese. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
Brush the edges with egg white.
Bake it in a pre-heated oven of 250C for about 15 minutes or until the crust is brown.
