1

Mix 1 packet of yeast with 2 tablespoons of sugar and a little warm water to activate it.

2

Let the yeast mixture sit until it bubbles, indicating it's active.

3

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 kg of flour, 1/2 cup of butter, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 2 eggs.

4

Add the activated yeast mixture and 1 cup of sweetened milk to the dry ingredients.

5

Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.

6

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

7

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.

8

Spread a layer of mustard over the dough (not mentioned in the video but implied).

9

Layer slices of ham over the mustard.

10

Add strips of bacon on top of the ham.

11

Sprinkle olives, raisins, and chopped smoked pork loin over the meat.

12

Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log.

13

Seal the edges and place the log seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

14

Brush the top with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.

15

Let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.

16

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

17

Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.

18

Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
