Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl.

Add sugar, salt, butter, eggs, and flour to the yeast mixture.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth.

Lightly flour a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and sprinkle with olive oil.

Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in volume.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Prepare the ham and cheese filling in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter, add garlic, and olive oil.

Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Roll the dough into a large rectangle, spread the butter mix over the surface, add spice to taste, and then spread the cheese and ham evenly.

Roll up the dough from the long side (like when making cinnamon rolls).

Cut the roll into 3 sections for easier handling (optional).

Roll each section a bit thinner, tuck in the dough on the sides, and place on baking sheets.

Let rise for about 40 minutes, covered.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Let rest for a while before slicing and serving.
