Ingredients
- 600 00 grams of flour
- 300 ml of milk
- 1 beer yeast cube
- 80 ml of seed oil
- 4 eggs
- ½ tablespoon of salt and ½ tablespoon of pepper
- 70 grams of parmesan cheese
- 100 gr of napoli type salami
- 150 grams of cooked ham
- 80 g bacon
- 100 g provolone
- 200 gr Emmental or other spun paste cheese
knead
We knead the flour and the warm milk, in which we will have already dissolved the yeast, and begin to mix everything. Let it rise for at least an hour in a warm and dry place.
Take back the dough and, with your hands, or better if in a large kneading machine, re-mix it adding one at a time the eggs and the seed oil, keeping aside a little 'oil that we will use to oil the mold. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and let rest and rise for other 30 min.
Prepare the filling
We reduce the cured meats and cheeses into chunks and put them aside. Let's continue the dough, which will now be quite soft and sticky, and enrich it with parmesan and diced. After well oiled a cake pan, fill it with the dough of the babà, which will have to rise again until it completely filled the pan and, therefore, double the volume.
Cook the fragrant rustic
We bake the rustic baba at 180-190 ° in a static oven for at least 30 min. After that you will have to check that it is cooked and place in the oven for another 10 minutes, in case it is not yet golden.
