Ingredients

Instructions

1. Make the Japanese basic bread up to the end of step 4, let the first rise finish, then knock back the dough.
2. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, shape each into a small ball, and cover them to rest for 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
4. Roll a ball into an oval about 4 x 5 inches (10 x 12.5 cm). Lay a slice of ham on it and roll tightly like a jelly roll, pinching all edges so the ham is enclosed. Pinch the two long ends together and press the dough down to flatten it somewhat.
5. Make a vertical cut down the middle of the looped end, leaving 1 inch (about 2.5 cm) at the pinched end uncut. Open the dough out and place it swirl side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches (5 cm) between rolls.
6. Repeat with the remaining dough, let the rolls rise for 45 minutes or until doubled.
7. Brush the rolls with egg wash, squeeze mayonnaise on top, add a few slices of onion and sprinkle with aonori.
8. Bake for about 12 minutes or until browned.
