A Sicilian stuffed bread roll filled with ham, mozzarella, and tomato sauce baked until golden. This protein-packed mediterranean snack is perfect for family lunches on the go.
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water in a large bowl; let stand for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
Add bread flour, salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix and knead for about 10 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough, divide it into 6 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a disk about 6 inches wide.
Spread tomato sauce on each disk, sprinkle with oregano and black pepper, then add a slice of ham and 1 oz mozzarella in the center.
Fold each disk over the filling to enclose, pinching the edges to seal tightly so no filling escapes.
Transfer the stuffed rolls seam-side down onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, rotating the tray halfway, until golden and crisp.
Let cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving for best texture and easier handling.
