My Christmas table is not complete if there is no Pan de Jamon.
When holiday arrives the first think that comes to my mind is pan de Jamon. The sweet dough filled with ham, bacon, olives, raisins and capers conforms a recipe that's so delicious and comforting. The taste from sweet, savory and the aroma of freshly baked bread that just taste like Christmas to me. If you want to tried something different this holiday and wow your family or a friend I recommend you to try this recipe.
If you want to make this recipe first and foremost start early just like bakers do well not at 5 am but the earlier the better. Make your self a nice cup of coffee, ask Alexa to play your favorite holiday playlist and clear some space on your countertop kitchen to prepare this recipe. Takes a little time but not so much effort.
Pan de Jamon compliments my holiday table.

Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough forms a ball and no longer sticks to the mixing bowl, about 8 - 10 minutes. The dough should be elastic but not sticky; if too sticky, add a little more flour, about a tablespoon at a time. This is why you always need extra flour.
