Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (360 g)
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (7 g)
  • 1 cup warm water (240 ml)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (12 g)
  • 1 tsp salt (5 g)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (28 g)
  • 1 ½ cups roasted pork, shredded (200 g)
  • 1 cup sliced ham (100 g)
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded or sliced (100 g)
  • ½ cup dill pickles, thinly sliced (75 g)
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard (30 ml)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (28 g) for brushing
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (2 g) optional

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm water (about 110°F / 43°C) with sugar and yeast in a small bowl. Stir lightly and let sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add melted butter and yeast mixture. Stir until combined, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. While dough rises, shred roasted pork and slice ham, Swiss cheese, and pickles. Mix mustard with a little pork juice or water to thin for spreading.
  5. Punch down dough and roll out on floured surface into a 12×16 inch rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
  6. Spread mustard mixture evenly over dough. Layer shredded pork, ham, pickles, and Swiss cheese evenly, leaving a 1 inch border on one long side.
  7. Roll dough tightly from the edge opposite the empty border into a log. Seal edge by pinching dough.
  8. Slice log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  9. Place bombs cut-side down on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.
  10. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  11. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If tops brown too fast, tent with foil for last 10 minutes. Use serrated knife for cleaner slices. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight. Freeze assembled bombs before baking for later use. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crust crisp.
