PAN DE JAMóN
I was too young when we moved to the States to remember this, but according to my parents, pan de jamón hits the Venezuelan panaderias (bakeries) on the 1st of December, then disappears for the year on January 1st. This festive bread rolled with ham, olives and raisins is one of our Christmas staples. We have pan de jamón throughout the month of December and as part of Christmas dinner. The Alvarezes bake off two on Christmas Eve: one for snacking on during the day and one for dinner. We've made the mistake of only cooking one and ended up pan-de-jamón-less at night. Don't make this same error. Buen provecho!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- If the pizza dough is sticky to the touch, lightly flour your work surface. Roll out the dough to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle that's about 1/8 inch thick.
- Shingle the ham over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the two short sides. Sprinkle the olives and raisins evenly on top.
- Starting at the long side farthest from you, roll the dough towards you into a log. Place it, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Beat the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl and brush generously over the log. Poke along the top of the log several times with a fork, without piercing all the way through the dough.
- Bake until the top is a deep golden brown, about 60 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then slice crosswise with a serrated knife and serve.

Steps:
- Let the ham sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham if needed. Score the ham through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat. Place the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch of water into the bottom of the pan. Roast ham until it reaches an internal temperature of about 130 degrees F, about 2 1/2 hours or 15 minutes per pound.
- Meanwhile, combine the sugar, paprika, garlic powder and oregano in a small bowl and stir until well mixed. Whisk in the olive oil until the mixture is a smooth paste.
- Remove the ham from the oven when it has reached 130 degrees F internally. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Spoon or brush the mustard all over the ham. Spread the spice paste with a spoon as evenly as possible all over the ham. Add water as needed to the bottom of the pan. Return the ham to the oven and roast until the paste forms a very light brick red crust, turning once halfway through, about 25 minutes more.
