Best Honey Glazed Ham And Checkerboard Rolls Recipes

HONEY-GLAZED HAM AND CHECKERBOARD ROLLS

Steps:

• Make the rolls: Butter two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes and divide the frozen rolls between them, spacing them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and let thaw and rise until almost doubled in size, 2 hours at room temperature.
• Mix the poppy seeds and sesame seeds in one bowl. Mix the cornmeal and Parmesan in another. Brush melted butter on every other roll; sprinkle with the poppy-sesame mixture. Brush the other rolls with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the cornmeal-Parmesan mixture. Cover the pans again and let rise for another 45 minutes to 1 hour. The rolls should be almost touching by now.
• Meanwhile, make the ham: Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/8 inch deep. Stud the top of the ham with the cloves, then put the ham on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Tent with foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Bring the ginger ale, honey, mustard and vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook until thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil and brush the glaze on the ham. Return it to the oven for 30 minutes, glazing again halfway through. Let cool slightly, then slice.
• Increase the oven temperature to 400˚ F. Bake the rolls until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with the ham, cheese, marmalade and/or onion jam and more mustard.

HAM ROLLS WITH SPICY PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spicy pineapple sauce: Add the pineapple chunks, Thai bird chile, garlic, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce and ginger to a blender. Blend until combined. Transfer the mixture to a pot. Heat the mixture over medium heat. Combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl and mix until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add to the hot pineapple mixture and stir to combine. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
• For the ham rolls: Cut the ham into 10 slices, then cut each slice into 4 matchsticks. Add the ham to a nonstick pan over medium heat and fry until golden brown. Set aside and let cool.
• Cook the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package. Rinse with cold water. Toss with 1/4 cup pineapple sauce. Set aside.
• Line a plate with a damp paper towel or parchment paper. Wet a few paper towel sheets and wring out the water. Have them standing by to cover your finished rolls. Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Dunk one rice wrapper in the shallow bowl of water for about 5 seconds to soften. Move to your work surface. Add 1 leaf of butter lettuce, torn in half, in the center, and top with 4 pieces of the ham, a small pile of the vermicelli noodles, red cabbage, cilantro leaves and mint leaves. Gently pull the bottom of the wrapper and roll over the filling, using your hands to tuck the filling in as you roll. Fold in each side and continue to roll tightly. Add the roll to your damp paper towel-lined plate. Cover the roll with a damp paper towel. Continue rolling until you have 10 rolls, covering with damp paper towels and keeping them separated (if the rolls touch, the wrappers will tear).
• To serve, cut each roll in half on an angle and serve with the spicy pineapple sauce.

HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/8 inch deep. Stud the top of the ham with the cloves, then put it in a roasting pan with a rack, tent it with foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Heat the honey, ginger ale, mustard and vinegar in a small saucepan until bubbly. Cook until reduced and a bit thicker, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the foil and brush the glaze on the ham. Return it to the oven for 15 minutes. Repeat once more. Remove it from the oven and let it rest/cool slightly.

HONEY CARAWAY ROLLS

Steps:

• Prepare the yeast: In a medium bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (between 110 to 120 degrees F). Set aside.
• Make the dough: Oil a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the bread flour with the caraway, honey, molasses, salt and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix to blend. Stir in the cottage cheese and the egg. With the mixer on low speed, add the yeast mixture. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl. (The oil will prevent the dough from sticking to the sides as it rises.) Cover with a towel and put in a warm place to double in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Then gently push the air out of the dough. Cover and let rise again, 1 more hour.
• Prepare the dough: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease two baking sheets with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Divide the dough into 8 even balls and place 4 each in a single layer on each baking sheet. Flatten the balls gently with your hand.
• Bake the bread: Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Place the trays in the center of the oven and bake, undisturbed, 20 to 25 minutes. The tops should be light to medium brown. Remove from the oven. Cool at least 15 minutes.
