I present to you the tradition of bread that should never be missing from a Venezuelan Christmas table. ============= HAM BREAD And I share with you my recipe Ingredients 850 gr of wheat flour 1 1/2 cup milk 100 g of butter or margarine 10 gr yeast 3 spoonfuls of sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 eggs 1 egg for brushing Filling 800 gr of smoked ham 200 gr of olives 150 gr of raisins 200 gr of bacon Preparation Make a volcano with the flour and in the center place the sugar, milk, yeast, eggs, and butter. Knead a little to unite the ingredients and add the salt, now place flour on the work table and knead for 15 minutes, until you get a soft and smooth dough. Place flour in a bowl and put our dough to rise for an hour. When doubling its size we will degas it with our hands. Now we just need to knead our dough with the rolling pin for six consecutive times. We divide the dough into three equal parts and form three rectangles. On these rectangles we will place ham, bacon, olives, and raisins. We roll our loaves making some decorative drawings on the end of the dough. With a fork we will prick them, let them rise for 1 hour and a half. As our breads grow we brush them with beaten egg. We bake for 40 minutes at 180 degrees. Brothers enjoy your December bread
