Individualized Breads for Kids and Adults

1. 1

   As best you can, coax each piece of bread into a diameter which is 1/2inch thick.

2. 2

   Cut or grate the cheese of choice into manageable pieces and scatter them on half of the dough, leaving an inch of the outside edge blank.

3. 3

   Top with ham and/or seasonings of choice and drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil on the filling.

4. 4

   Fold unfilled half of the bread over to cover the filling and press all around the edges to seal.

5. 5

   Sprinkle some drops of olive oil on dough and, with your fingers, spread the oil over the entire top surface of the dough.

6. 6

   Set individual stuffed breads on a lightly oiled or nonstick baking pan.

7. 7

   Let the breads rise, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until doubled.

8. 8

   Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and bake for about 20 minutes (if fillings ooze out a bit, don't worry).

9. 9

   Cool the breads on a wire rack until lukewarm or room temperature.

10. 10

    Serve with a crisp green salad.
