Recipe for bread bowl filled with ham and salami

Preparation and cooking

  • - Prepare simple bread dough. Link to my recipe below!
    Add 2 tablespoons dried chives to ingredients.
    Let your dough rest in a warm place, about a couple of hours.
  • - Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • - Divide your dough into three parts.
    Using a long pasta rolling pin, roll out one part of your dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2 cm (3/4 in).
    Using a pastry brush, oil the external base and side of a dish soufflé.
    Press your dough on this surface.
    Try to shape in the best way its edge.
    Create little round loaves or plaited ones with remaining dough .
  • - Bake in oven, about 15 minutes.
    This time is enough for your bread bowl; probably it is necessary more time for loaves.
  • - Let bread dough cool very well before removing it.

Just before serving

  • - Arrange prosciutto and salami slices inside your bread bowl together with artichokes in oil as you can see in the photo or according to your fancy.
  • - Serve your special antipasto accompanied with loaves.

Note

Tips

  • - If you want your bread bowl ca be eaten together with salami, do not prepare bread the day before.
    If you use it only to serve your ham, it is a different matter. You can prepare everything the day before and heat up loaves in the oven just before serving

Menu planning

  • - This bread bowl filled with assorted salami is perfect as edible centerpiece.
  • - This way of serving cold cuts is fine when you have to plan an outdoor dinner or lunch party, a BBQ party, an afternoon snack party. In every case where your menu is rustic and then informal.
