Number Of Ingredients 15

For the yeast:
1 1/2 cups water
5 teaspoons granulated yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
For the dough:
1 cup butter
4 cups warm milk
4 lbs flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
For the filling:
3 lbs sliced ham
As many olives as you would like
As many raisins as you would like
1 egg (to "varnish")

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, mix the water and the sugar; add the yeast and let stand for 15 minutes until it has a "head". 2. Add the butter to the warm milk, the sugar and the salt. 3. Pour the milk onto the flour, mix and add the yeast. 4. Make a dough and knead for 15 minutes. 5. Beat down on a table and put in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. 6. Set aside for an hour. 7. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin. 8. Coat with butter. 9. Arange the ham, bacon, olives and the raisins (except for a small part at the end, so you can seal the bread up). 10. Roll it up like a swiss roll and brush the"tongue" with some egg to seal it. 11. Bake at 350° F for 3/4 of an hour. Serve when cool.
