Osterschinken or Ham In A Bread Blanket
Salty ham (#393358) with a sweet and tangy mustard glaze (#37534) is a German Easter staple – and it becomes an impressive focal point when baked inside a bread blanket. Baking a smaller smoked ham at a lower oven heat is ideal for this dish to ensure that the ham cooks through without overbaking the bread. We recommend using rye flour for your bread dough and flavoring with coriander, caraway, honey, and molasses to complement the flavors of the ham, but the dish also works well with white or wheat bread dough.
