Preparation

Step 1

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.
