Bring a little Venezuelan to your Christmas table with this delicious Holiday Ham Rolled Bread Recipe filled with olives and raisinspan-de-jamon-receta-cover

Holiday Ham Rolled Bread Recipe (Pan De Jamon)

Looks yummy, isn’t it? I agree. And don’t worry, there’s no yeast or proofing involved with this one. Like always, I have a shortcut. Since the holidays are here who has the time for yeast fermentation and all of that?

This Holiday Ham Rolled Bread Recipe (AKA Pan De Jamon) will surely please any celebration! Serve it as an appetizer or as a side dish during dinner and your guests will surely come back for seconds. So make 2 just in case 😉

The Ham Rolled Bread or Pan de Jamon is a typical Venezuelan dish usually served around Christmas time. It combines a flavor explosion of ham (I used turkey), olives, and raisins all rolled into a bread.

It’s sweet and salty all in one bite. I make it every year for friends and family and they love receiving their loaf.  Since I am not a huge fan of ham I used turkey but you can certainly use whichever you like best.

My husband suggested adding turkey bacon to the filling. I will try it and let you know how it turns out.

Making this Pan de Jamon is usually a labor of love but this year I decided to experiment and surprisingly it worked! (yes, tons don’t make it here).

To make this bread I used the French Bread dough that comes in a can and as you can see, the bread turned out beautiful, delicious and you can’t even notice the difference.

I also brushed the top of the bread with a little yolk and panela (or brown sugar) to give it a nice sheen and sweet taste.

The bread that came out was a tad smaller than the usual Ham Rolled Bread which was perfect for me and my family. If you want to make it bigger simply use 2 cans and combine the doughs.

Here are step-by-step pictures of how to make it.

 See? it’s so easy. Simply stretch, fill, roll, and bake! Now that you know this technique, think of all other flavor-filling combinations you can do. Maybe add some cheese and make a Croque Monsieur or use leftover beef or chicken with veggies,

Maybe add some cheese and make a Croque Monsieur or use leftover beef or chicken with veggies, cheese, and a little sauce. There are endless possibilities!

Hope you can make this delicious Holiday Ham Rolled Bread or Pan De Jamon and let this recipe be part of your Holiday Celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 1 can French Bread Loaf

  • Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Sprinkle the olives, raisins and sugar all over the ham making sure that they are all spread out
