It's Christmas, so it's time to make Pan de Jamon. Let's start with 600g of bread flour, 1.5 tsp of salt, and 1 tbsp of active dry yeast.
Venezuelan Christmas food
Add around 400 to 450 ml of a warm 50/50 mix of water and buttermilk, and 1 or 2 tbsp of melted butter. Knead for about 10 minutes.
One hour later the dough has risen, so get the bacon, ham, raisins, and olives ready.
Roll the dough out nice and thin
Put down the bacon and half the olives and raisins
First layer of ham
More olives and raisins
More ham
Roll it up and let it rest an hour
Brush with egg wash and slash the top
Bake at 375F for 35 minutes, then increase to 415 until the crust looks nice
And the crumb shot
looks bretty good
Looks good man. Think I'll make this sometime.

You guys have olives? How? Serious question.
I bought them at the supermarket. I also live in the US so that helps.
Oh, I thought you were from Venezuela and cooking up something for Christmas. Thought it would be a basic meal working with what you had knowing the food shortage there and all.
Ya there's probably more traditional Venezuelan food outside Venezuela than in it at this point.
