- Salt to taste
- 1 egg yolk
Filling
- about 300g sliced ham

Preparation
Mix yeast, sugar, milk, eggs, oil, and flour until a homogeneous dough forms that comes away from the hands; knead the dough for about 20 to 30 minutes for better rising
Place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap in a warm place and let rest for 1 hour
Cut the ham slices in half and set aside
Assembly
After 1 hour, divide the dough into four parts
Sprinkle a little flour on a clean, smooth surface
Roll out one piece of dough to form a rectangle using a rolling pin
Cut small strips of dough and place ham and cheese in the center of each strip
Fold the ends of each roll to seal and prevent the cheese from escaping
