• Remove the leaves from the cabbage, cook them for 5 min in water with some salt.
• Soak bred/roll in warm water. Squeeze all water from the bread.
• Combine meat with eggs, spices and roll, mix well (best with hands).
• Take 2 sheets parchment paper. On one sheet place the meat, flatten it with hands a bit.Place other sheet on top and with a dough roller flatten the meat to a rectangle form. Should there be some wholes in the meat, fill them with meat from the edges.
• Place ham slices on top, then add savoy cabbage leaves.
• Now roll it towards you, the parchment paper helps ONLY to roll. At the end the roll should be still on the paper, that you place on a baking tray.
• Cook in pre-heated oven for 1 hour on 400 F (200C).
