• 4 tablespoons of powdered milk
• 750 g of self-rising wheat flour

For the filling:

• Smoked ham
• Bacon
• Stuffed olives
• Raisins

Pasos a seguir:

• Paso 1: En un bold vamos a colocar el agua tibia, la levadura y el azúcar y lo mezclamos con una cuchara hasta que observemos que los granos se han disuelto, una vez obtenido esto cubrimos el bold con un paño limpio y dejamos reposar por 15 minutos.





• Paso 2: Para preparar la masa, vertimos sobre un mesón limpio la harina en forma de volcán y justo en el centro colocamos la levadura, la leche en polvo, el azúcar, la sal y los huevos previamente batidos. Amasamos con las manos y poco a poco veremos que se irá haciendo más consistente la masa.



• Paso 3: Cuando tengamos la masa trabajada añadimos la mantequilla a temperatura ambiente, y continuamos amasando hasta que este todo bien integrado.



• Paso 4: Tapamos la masa con un paño limpio y dejamos reposar a temperatura ambiente durante 50- 60 minutos.

• Paso 5: Pasado este tiempo divididos la masa en dos partes iguales, reservamos una mitad y la otra la estiramos con la ayuda de un rodillo.



• Paso6: Colocamos el jamón ahumado sobre toda la superficie luego algunas lonjas de tocineta entre las uniones del jamón y esparcimos las aceitunas y las pasas por toda la masa. Enrollamos la masa hacia adentro y las puntas del pan hacia abajo, y dejamos reposar otra media hora.





• Paso 7: Repetimos todo el proceso con la otra mitad de masa que habíamos reservado. Pinchamos los dos panes con un tenedor para que entre aire al hornear, y barnizamos con un huevo batido para que queden doraditos. Horneamos a 180 C° de 20 a 25 minutos.

Steps to follow:

• Step 1:In a bold we are going to place the warm water, the yeast and the sugar and mix it with a spoon until we see that the grains have dissolved, once this is obtained, we cover the bold with a clean cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

• Step 2: To prepare the dough, pour the volcano-shaped flour on a clean counter and place the yeast, powdered milk, sugar, salt and previously beaten eggs in the center. We knead with our hands and little by little we will see that the dough will become more consistent.

• Step 3:When we have the dough worked, add the butter at room temperature, and continue kneading until everything is well integrated.

• Step 4: Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 50-60 minutes.

• Step 5: After this time, the dough is divided into two equal parts, we reserve one half and the other we stretch it with the help of a roller.

• Step 6:We place the smoked ham on the entire surface then some slices of bacon between the joints of the ham and spread the olives and raisins throughout the dough. We roll the dough inwards and the ends of the bread down, and let it rest for another half hour.

• Step 7: We repeat the whole process with the other half of the dough that we had reserved. We prick the two loaves with a fork so that air enters when baking, and we glaze with a beaten egg so that they are golden brown. Bake at 180 C ° for 20 to 25 minutes.
