Description

Ingredients

• For the dough
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 package (3/4 ounce) rapid-rise yeast
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• For the filling
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 6 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
• Sliced ham

Directions

• For the dough
• Add the water to a bowl and stir in the yeast, honey, salt and olive oil.
• To a clean work surface pile the flour and make a well in the center.
• Add a little of the yeast liquid and use your fingers to slowly incorporate flour. Add a little more liquid as it is absorbed by the flour until you get a nice dough ball. You may not use all the liquid, dont let the dough be too sticky.
• Knead the dough for 5 minutes until smooth.
• Lightly oil a bowl with a little olive oil and transfer the dough to the bowl.
• Turn once to coat all sides with the oil. Cover the bowl and put the bowl in a warm area to rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Punch down the dough and place it in a lightly-floured surface.
• Divide the dough into 12 balls. Cover and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once the dough balls have rested, working on a floured surface, roll out 1 ball to a 4 1/2 inch round, about 1/8 inch thick.
• Place half a teaspoon of sauce in the center and add 1 teaspoon cheese and a slice of ham, leaving a border.
• Fold the dough in half over the filling and press to seal using your fingers or a fork.
• Place on the parchment lined baking sheet and continue with the rest.
• Before baking, brush the pastry with milk and brush sauce onto the centers. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
