The ham and cheese salty pie is a savory pie stuffed with Serrano ham and spreadable cheese. It is simple and quite quick to prepare, even if you don’t buy the dough, to make it at home. We used few ingredients, to have a tasty pie, often offered in Italy for aperitif and starters.
This recipe is fantastic also for a family dinner, with a good white wine with fruity flavors. If you like to vary the filling, you can use different hams and cheese, like fresh mozzarella.
Instructions
- Sift the flour in a bowl (1), then slowly add the seed oil (2) and also the water (3).
- Add the salt (4) and the dry yeast (5). Mix energically (6), until a smooth and homogeneous dough is obtained. Give the shape of a ball and let it rest for about thirty minutes at room temperature, covering it with a cotton cloth.
- Then take a circular baking tray and place on three quarters of the dough (7) in the center. With your hands lay it evenly (8), and once completely covered the bottom, add the spreadable cheese (9).
- Add also the slices of ham (10) completely covering the cheese. Take the dough you have set aside and roll it out with a rolling pin (11). Then cover the pie with the phyllo dough (12), pressing lightly with your fingers around the pan. Bake at 140°C for about thirty minutes, then take off and let rest few minutes, before serving on table.
