Ingredients

Cake Dough

550 g flour

15 g yeast

250 g milk

60 g extra-virgin olive oil

10 g salt

10 g sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Filling

150 g grated scamorza cheese (or mozzarella cheese)

200 g sautéed mushrooms

120 g speck (or prosciutto)

Baking Tray

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Tools

1 Bowl

1 Fork

1 Food Film

1 Rolling pin

1 Brush

1 Baking Tray

1 Baking paper

Steps

Heat the milk and set it aside.

Put the flour in a bowl, leaving a hole in the middle. Add the warm milk and the yeast in that hole.

Stir with a fork until the yeast melts.

Add the oil, sugar and salt and mix taking a little flour from the edges.

Add the egg and stir again.

Put the fork aside and start kneading with your hands.

Combine the flour with all the other ingredients, until you get a soft and smooth dough.
Of course you can use a mixer if you prefer.

Form a ball with the dough and let it rise until it doubles in a well-oiled bowl, covered with food film.

Dust the worktop with flour, resume the dough doubled and begin to roll out with a rolling pin.

Once you get a square, sprinkle it with speck, scamorza cheese and mushrooms.

Roll the dough on itself, as you would for the cinnamon rolls.

Form a spiral with this roll and put it to rise in a baking tray lined with baking paper. It must double again.

Once risen, brush the roll with 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake at 220 ºC for 35 minutes or until golden.

Let it cool before slicing and serving.
