Preparation

Step 1

Mix all the ingredients for the dough, knead by hand (or robot) for 10 minutes, until the dough becomes soft and smooth.
Cover and leave to rise 45 minutes minimum - maximum 1 hour, away from drafts (the dough should double in volume).
Deflate the dough and cut into two pieces (if you want to make two loaves of medium size).

Step 2

Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 60x40 cm.
Arrange the slices of different hams on the dough, then add the olives cut in half and raisins.

Step 3

Roll up the bread and place in the baking tin and cover with a dish cloth (to avoid drafts) and leave for 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
Brush the surface of the bread with the beaten egg yolk and sugar, pricking here and there with a fork (so that the bread does not open during cooking).

Bake the bread 40 minutes, until it is golden brown (cooking time depends on the oven).
