Directionm

1. If you are using cold milk, keep warm the fresh milk, and condensed milk in a rice cooker for 10 minutes.

Or, you can let them stand in room temperature for about 25 minutes.

The temperature should not exceed 38 degree Celsius in order not to affect the yeast.

2. Pour milk mixture into the bread pan.

3. Add in beaten egg (about 1/2 an egg).

4. Add in sugar and salt.

5. Add in unsalted butter.

6. Pour in bread flour and cake flour.

7. Dig a hole and pour in the instant dry yeast.

8. Place the bread pan into the bread machine.

9. Select "8" Dough function to do the mixing, kneading and first proofing. Press "start".

10. The dough will be ready at the end of 1 hour 30 minutes.

11. Invert the dough out to a floured work top.

12. Flatten the dough with your hand to remove the trapped air.

13. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions each weighs about 51g. 

14. Roll up the individual portion into a ball. Coat with flour and keep in a covered mixing bowl. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.

15. Roll the dough ball into a round flat dough slightly bigger than the ham.

Roll up the dough and ham, and pinch to seal at the end.

Fold up and let the two ends meet and seal.

Turn over so the joining ends will be facing down.

Slice open the middle to a about 3/4 deep. Open out the cut.

16. Place the shaped dough over a lightly floured baking tray. Spray some water and transfer to a closed oven to do the second proofing for about 40 minutes.

17. Remove the tray from the oven, and start to preheat the oven to 170 degrees.

18. Apply a thin coat of egg wash over the dough surface.

Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the middle.

Shake some coarse black pepper over.

Sprinkle some dried parsley flakes on the dough.

19. Bake the bread dough in the oven at lower rack, at 180 degree Celsius for about 20 to 25 minutes, or till golden.

20. Let the bread cool down on the cooling rack before serving :)
