Ingredients
50 g yeast
5 dl lukewarm water
1 1/2 dl liquid margarine
1/2 dl sesame seeds
1 dl wheat germ
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp Dansukker White Syrup
2 eggs
About 16 dl plain flour
Filling
16 slices smoked ham
32 slices cheese
1 red pepper
Instructions
Crumble the yeast into a bowl. Add the water and stir until the yeast dissolves. Add the margarine, sesame seeds, wheat germ, salt, syrup and eggs. Work in the flour gradually until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Wash and deseed the pepper and cut it into strips. Cut the ham slices in half. Put the dough on a floured worktop and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a flat round. Cut each round into eight segments using a pastry wheel. Place a cheese slice, half a ham slice and a strip of pepper at the long end of each segment. Roll the segments up from the long end to the point, then bend each roll into a crescent. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Leave to rise for 20 minutes. Brush with lightly beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in the lower part of the oven at 250 °C for about 10 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack covered with a tea towel. The rolls can be frozen.
