How to Make Scallion and Ham Bread: A Simple Guide

Making soft, savory scallion and ham bread at home is easier than you think! Here’s a step-by-step guide to this delicious treat.

Ingredients:

- 300g all-purpose flour

- 3g active dry yeast

- 30g sugar, 2g salt

- 1 egg, 120ml warm milk

- 30g butter (softened)

- 100g diced ham, 50g chopped scallions

- 1 egg yolk (for glazing)

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the egg and warm milk, knead until smooth. Incorporate softened butter and knead for 10 minutes until elastic. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2. Shape the bread: Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle. Spread diced ham and chopped scallions evenly, then roll it up like a Swiss roll. Cut into 6-8 equal pieces.

3. Proof and bake: Place the pieces on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for 30 minutes. Brush with egg yolk and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a pinch of sesame seeds on top before baking. Enjoy warm with butter or as a savory snack! This versatile bread is perfect for breakfast or lunchboxes.
