Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 12 ounces Low-sodium ham, thinly sliced
- 6 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon of instant yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Add 1.25 cups of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat disc about 6 inches in diameter.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat.
Brush each dough disc with the melted butter, then evenly distribute the low-sodium ham, Swiss cheese, and a handful of fresh spinach leaves onto each disc.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper over the filling.
Gently roll each disc into a cylinder, pinching the edges to seal.
Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, seam-side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium ham and cheese bread rolls warm.
