Ham And Cheese Loaf

Preparation:

Preparation: Crumble the yeast in a small bowl, wet it with a little milk and let it rest for 15 minutes. Pour the flour into a bowl with two scant teaspoons of salt. Dice the ham (do not remove the fat). Melt 50 g of butter and add it to the remaining milk. Mix the milk with the yeast and the milk with the butter, sour cream, ham and cheese into the flour. After mixing the ingredients, knead for 15 minutes. Cover and keep warm until the volume of the mixture has doubled. Knead quickly once more and then form an oval loaf. Make three light parallel incisions on the surface and then transfer the bread onto the oven tray lined with buttered paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 220 degrees for one hour. If the surface of the bread tends to darken, cover with aluminum foil. Serve the bread warm, cut into thick slices. Accompany it with goat cheese sprinkled with aromatic herbs and chopped dried fruit.
