This is the first meal I learned to cook for my family as a kid and the first dish I converted to gluten free - my uncle used to call it "a lot of work for a ham sandwich" but it's worth it. Diced ham, shredded swiss and chopped pickle inside a mustard seasoned baked bread. I use uncured nitrite free ham to protect my tummy from my OTHER food allergy. It's excellent as leftovers - I roll an individual slice in a paper towel and microwave.

Ingredients
Flour mix: * 1.25 cup Brown Rice Flour * 1.25 cup White Rice Flour * 1 cup Tapioca Starch * .5 cup Sweet Rice Flour * 1 tbsp xanthan gum “Wet” ingredients: (In quotes because salt/sugar aren’t wet ingredients – but they will be when you throw them in water) * 2 pckg yeast (4.5 teaspoons) * 1 cup very warm water (about 125 degree F) * .25 cup dijon mustard * 2 tbsp butter/margarine * 2 tbsp sugar * .5 tspn salt Filling bits * .5 cup diced ham * .5 cup shredded swiss cheese * .25 cup chopped dill pickled * An eggInstructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Sift together the flour mix. Pour three cups of the flour mix in a mixing bowl.
Stir together the “Wet ingredients” until the salt and sugar dissolves. Pour wet ingredient mixture into the mixing bowl.
Using a stand up mixer, mix until well combined. Dough should leave the bowl sides clean but hang together and not crumble.
Roll out dough to a thickness of about a quarter inch (too thick and it’ll make your finished product tough) on a piece of parchment, sprinkling both the rolling pin and the parchment with the excess flour mix. Sprinkle ham, then the cheese, then the pickle down the center third of the dough.
Traditional method: Slice dough on either side of the filling bits in parallel lines along the dough – pull the strips up over the filling and pinch together. This doesn’t really work with GF dough, but I figured I’d put it out there.
Easier method that isn’t as pretty: Fold over one side of the dough up over the filling and slice several air holes through the top.
Using the parchment paper as a little sandwich gurney (may want to get a friend to help) place on a baking sheet. Cover with a warm wet dish towel and allow to rise for 15 minutes. Wash the egg onto to the dough surface, avoiding any exposed filling bits.
Bake 35 minute or until done.
