Number Of Ingredients 11

For the dough
1 cup (236ml) warm water
1 package rapid-rise yeast, 3/4 ounce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups (384 grams) all-purpose flour
For the filling
1 cup (225 grams) marinara sauce
6 ounces (170 grams) mozzarella cheese, grated
Sliced ham

Steps:

  • 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, don't 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.
