Re: German Cuisine
Mellow Dough, Neutral (Murberteig)
1 cup flour
1/4 lb butter
4 tbls milk
2 tbls sugar
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 Mix all ingredients and, on a bread board, knead to a supple dough. Roll out and use as instructed in specific recipe. In view of the large butter content of this dough, it should be thoroughly cooled before baking.
Smoked Ham in Dough (Schinken in Brotteig)
1 smoked ham
Mellow Dough, Neutral
1 Soak ham overnight in water to cover and remove skin. Or use a ready-to-eat ham and remove skin. Dry well. Prepare dough and wrap it around ham. Bake about three hours in a fairly hot (375-400F) oven. To serve, cut away crust (with a very sharp kinfe to prevent crumbling). Slice ham and serve hot or cold, garnished with pieces of the crust.
