Put the flour and salt into a large bowl, stir in the sugar and yeast, then rub in the butter. Add enough of the water to form a soft dough (you may not need it all).

- 1½tsp Salt
- 1tsp Unrefined golden caster sugar
- 1 Easy bake yeast sachet (7g)
- 15g Butter
- 300ml Warm water

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and leave in the bowl in a warm place to rise for about 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 240°C (fan 220°C, gas mark 9).

Press the dough into a large rectangle about 1cm thick, layer the ham and mozzarella over the dough and sprinkle the tomatoes over.

For this step you'll need:
- 160g Parma ham
- 250g Mozzarella sliced
- Cherry tomatoes handful, halved

Brush the edges of the dough with water and then roll up into a large sausage shape, then shape into a wreath. Place on to a baking tray lined with baking paper.
