Steps

  • Mix flour, salt, yeast, milk, and eggs in a food mixer until smooth.
  • Add butter gradually piece by piece while mixing for five minutes.
  • Place dough in an oiled 1 litre container and let rise until doubled.
  • Roll dough on a floured surface into a 40-50cm rectangle about 1.5cm thick.
  • Layer prosciutto, broken mozzarella pieces, and chopped basil over the dough.
  • Roll the dough tightly from the long side and cut lengthwise to expose filling.
  • Twist the two strips together and form into a circular crown shape.
  • Place on a lined tray inside a plastic bag to rise for 1.5 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Brush with beaten egg and salt, then sprinkle with grated parmesan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until golden-brown and leave to cool slightly.
