Ham and cheese baguette

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. If you are ready to prepare yeast dough specifically for the baguette, then we prepare the ingredients for the dough. The dough for the baguette will be prepared in a quick way, so it will turn out much faster than the usual yeast dough. In a glass of warm water (we heat the water in the microwave for just a few seconds, it should be warm, not hot), dissolve the sugar, add dry yeast and add a tablespoon of flour, mix again.

2. Step 2:

   

   We put the container in a warm place for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the flour, sift it. In a large bowl, we drive a chicken egg, add salt and lightly beat it with a fork so that the egg spreads, the salt dissolves.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add vegetable oil.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour in the sourdough. Mix it up. And we begin to pour flour. Flour may take a little more or less, depending on the quality and density of the flour. Knead the dough first with a spoon in a bowl, then spread it on a board sprinkled with flour and knead the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   It should be tight and elastic. We pull the plastic wrap over the bowl. We put it in a warm place for 40 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   The yeast dough is ready. we form a thick sausage from it, cut it into identical pieces, from which we form the blanks of our baguettes.

8. Step 7:

   

   We put them on a greased mold and put them in a warm place for 15 minutes for the rack.

9. Step 8:

   

   If desired, you can make a streusel for sprinkling baguettes. Grind a tablespoon of flour with 20 g of butter into a crumb. Sprinkle the baguettes with streusel and put them in a preheated 180 degree oven for 25 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Meanwhile, you can prepare the filling. Cut the ham into slices.

11. Step 10:

    

    We take any hard cheese to taste and availability. We also cut the cheese into thin plates, if desired, it can be grated, but the essence of this will not change, the cheese will melt in the baguette the same way.

12. Step 11:

    

    Take out the ruddy crispy baguettes. Let them cool down a little, cut them lengthwise.

13. Step 12:

    

    We put ham slices on the bottom of the baguette, cheese and herbs on top if desired. We close the lid on top and send it back to the oven for 10 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. We take out the finished baguettes with ham and cheese. Let them cool down a little and serve them to the table. Bon appetit!
