Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Low sodium ham
- 100 grams Low fat cream cheese
- 300 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 180 milliliters Low fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and baking powder.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture, rubbing it in with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the low fat milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a large rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the low fat cream cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of border along the edges.
Layer the low sodium ham slices over the cream cheese.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and black pepper evenly over the ham and cheese.
Carefully roll the dough from the long edge into a tight roll, tucking in the ends slightly.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush over the roll to give it a shiny finish when baked.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1-inch thick rounds.
Place the rolls, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
