Babà Rustico

Directions

1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk; melt the butter and let it cool down. Put the flour into a large bowl and add the salt; then add the cold cuts and cheese little cubes.
2. Gradually add milk (with yeast in it), melted butter and eggs and start kneading. The dough will be smooth, a little sticky.
3. Grease and dust with flour a 24 cm diameter (at least) ring shaped mould and put the dough in it. Cover the mould with tin foil and let the dough rise for 2 hours inside the oven (turned off).
4. Then bake the babà at 350°F (180°C) for about 40 to 45 minutes: in the first 30 minutes let the tin foil over the mould, then remove it (in the last 10 to 15 minutes) to cook until golden brown.
5. Let the babà cool down (if you resist) et eat it!
