Preparation procedure

Preparing the dough Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. If the dough is not in a rectangular shape, roll it out on a floured surface. Optionally spread a thin layer of mustard. Arrange the ham on the dough, sprinkle with cheese and, if desired, dried herbs.
Rolling and cutting Roll the dough into a log and cut into twelve equal pinwheels. Place them cut-side down on the baking tray with spacing so they have room while baking.
3. Baking Brush the surface with beaten egg. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden. After baking let cool slightly and serve.
