How to Prepare Tomato Rustic Bread
In a bowl, combine the flour, water, oil, and salt. Stir with a spoon.
Add the yeast and mix with the spoon. When you can no longer do so, continue kneading by hand until you get a smooth dough.
Line a 12.5-inch round baking tray (the kind used for pizza) with parchment paper and oil it.
Roll out the dough with your hands inside the tray. (To help, also add a little oil on top).
On half of the circle, add the tomato purée, salt, a drizzle of oil, diced cooked ham, and the cheese. I used emmental cheese.
Fold over to form a large calzone. Seal the edges well. Grease the surface with a drizzle of oil and bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F. Bake for about 30 minutes. Please check the cooking times based on your oven.
Remove from the oven and serve. It’s good both hot and cold.
