For the pastry:

Ingredients (20 servings)
250 g flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon(s) salt
half teaspoon(s) sugar
50 g butter
100 ml whole milk
1/4 cube(s) fresh yeast (or a teaspoon of dried yeast)

For the asparagus ham rolls:

Ingredients (20 servings)
5 slices ham
10 spear white asparagus
2 tablespoon(s) chopped onions, fried until brown and crisp
1 egg (to brush the rolls)
1 tablespoon(s) sesame seeds
50 g grated Gouda cheese

For the dip:

Ingredients (20 servings)
200 sour cream
1 pinch(es) pepper
1 pinch(es) salt
1 bunch chives, finely chopped
  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt and sugar. Heat the milk and melt the butter in it. Let cool down until just lukewarm.
  • Add the yeast to the lukewarm milk and dissolve. Pour this mixture into the bowl, together with the egg.
  • Knead everything into a smooth pastry. Let rise for about an hour in a warm place.
  • In the meantime, prepare the filling by beating the egg and cutting the peeled asparagus lengthwise in the middle.
  • Preheat the oven to between 180 and 200°C.
  • Remove the pastry from its bowl onto a floured surface, knead into a ball and roll out thinly. Cut out rectangles, approx. the length of the asparagus pieces.
  • Halve the ham slices. Place a piece of ham on a piece of dough and roll up the asparagus up in it.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg and seal the edges. 
  • Brush the top of the rolls with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, roasted onions or grated Gouda cheese.
  • Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • For the dip, mix sour cream, pepper, salt and chopped chives and serve with the rolls.
