Instructions
Dough Preparation:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar and salt. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it stand for a few minutes until it becomes foamy. Add the activated yeast, melted margarine and egg to the flour mixture.
- Start kneading the dough on a floured surface until you obtain a smooth and elastic dough. This may take about 10-15 minutes of kneading.
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Filling Preparation:
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.Evenly distribute the ham strips over the dough.Add the bacon, raisins and paprika-stuffed olives, making sure they are distributed over the entire surface.
Winding and Forming:
- Begin rolling the dough from one of the long edges, applying light pressure to keep the ingredients in place.Once rolled, place the loaf on a baking sheet with the seam side down.Make small diagonal incisions in the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
Baking:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).Bake the bread in the preheated oven for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through in the center. You can check for doneness by lightly tapping the bottom of the loaf; if it sounds hollow, it is done.
Varnishing:
- While the bread is still warm, mix the sugar and water to create the glaze.Apply the glaze evenly over the surface of the bread using a kitchen brush.
Chilled and Served:
- Let the Pan de Jamón cool before slicing.Serve the slices in an attractive presentation and enjoy this delicious Venezuelan delicacy.
