150 ml water

150 ml milk

Flash

Spread the mustard over the ham.

Put a little dough aside for decorating the ham. Roll out the rest of the dough to the size of the ham, then wrap it around the ham. Cover the baking tray with baking paper, lay the wrapped ham on it and make a small steam hole at the back.

Thinly roll out the remaining dough and make shapes for decorating the ham. Dust the ham with flour before decorating it and brush the shapes with water so that they stick.

Put the tray into the cold cooking space at level 2. Bake.

Take the ham in a bread crust out of the cooking space and allow it to rest, covered, for about 10 minutes. Allowing the meat to rest means that the temperature and juices are more evenly distributed throughout the meat so that the ham loses fewer of the meat juices when sliced.
