- Easy
- Serves 4 - 6
Ingredients
- 500g pack white bread mix
- plain flour, for dusting
- 200g mozzarella, grated
- 10 thin slices ham
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- oil, for greasing
- 8 tbsp ready-made tomato pasta or pizza sauce, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Make up the bread dough following pack instructions. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle approximately 20 x 45cm.
- STEP 2
Scatter the cheese, ham and onion over, then fold up the edges so the filling is enclosed. Roll into a long sausage so it looks like a baguette. Transfer to a lightly oiled tray and leave in a warm place, loosely covered with oiled cling film to puff up a little. It will take about 30 mins.
- STEP 3
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush with some oil and cook for 20-30 mins, until puffed up and golden. Allow to cool a little. Heat the pasta sauce in a small pan until hot. Slice the picnic bread. Eat warm or cold, with the tomato sauce for dipping.
