Directions:Take 1 cup of warm water and dissolve the yeast in it for about 4 minutes. Warm up the milk with the sugar and a pinch of salt.
Put 1 kg of flour on the table in a “volcano-type” shape. Add the yeast and mix with your hands. Add 2 eggs, the melted butter and slowly add the milk. Mix till the dough is homogeneous. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit of flour.
Leave the dough to rise for 35 minutes in a warm place.
Divide the dough in two or three parts. Stretch each part with a roll and make a rectangular shape (the longest side will be the size of the bread). Cover it with the ham; add the bacon strips (parallel to the longest side of the rectangle), raisins and olives. Roll the dough from the far end towards you. Close the ends by folding the dough inwards.
Leave the breads resting for 30 minutes while the oven gets pre-heated to 250°F. Place the bread on a lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix one egg with the brown sugar (this mixture will be used for “painting” the bread).
After the bread has been in the oven for the first 20 minutes, take it out and brush the egg/brown sugar mix all over the bread. This will give it a golden shiny look. Put the bread back in the oven for about one hour or until fully cooked and golden brown. |
