Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 150 ml Warm water
- 50 ml Skim milk
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Protein powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Butter (softened)
- 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
- 200 grams Cooked ham (slices)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and protein powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the warm water and skim milk, mixing until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or hands until a dough starts to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the low-fat cream cheese, chopped ham, and chives in a bowl until well combined.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 16x12 inches.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cut the rectangle into 12 smaller triangles.
Place a small spoonful of the ham filling on the wide end of each triangle.
Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, forming a crescent shape, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water and brush over each Schinkengipfel to ensure a golden glaze while baking.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Allow the Schinkengipfel to rise for another 15 minutes while the oven is preheating.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your high-protein treat fresh for breakfast or as a snack!
