How To Make It

Step 1:

We begin the preparation of our pan de jamón, for this, in the bowl of the mixer add the flour, sugar, salt, yeast and mix until integrated, then add the egg, melted butter, warm milk (not boiling) and knead for 16 minutes (if you do not have a mixer, you can do it in a bowl and as soon as you have a somewhat homogeneous dough, place it on a flat surface and knead it for the indicated time) after the kneading time, we give circular shape to our dough, we take it to a bowl, cover it with a clean cloth and let it rest for 2 hours in a warm place without air currents (it can be the same oven at home).

Step 3:

After the resting time, we turn our dough on a flat surface and knead it for a few minutes to degas (remove the air) then we return to give it a circular shape and divide it into two equal parts (this step is only to make two medium loaves, if you want to make a large loaf, use the whole dough without cutting it).

Step 4:

On the flat surface, sprinkle a little flour and place the dough, then with the help of a rolling pin, we will stretch to form a rectangle, then with the help of a pizza cutter, we will perfect the edges as I show you in the video to get a correct rectangle (we reserve the dough cuts to make some strips and decorate the bread).
