This week we bring you a traditional Venezuelan Christmas bread. This simple recipe was created so that Pan de Jamon could be made in less than hour. While living in Ohio our aunt, Maria Helena, baked some crescent rolls with ham inside which spawned the idea of using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls as the dough for the Pan de Jamon. With a prep time of 15 minutes and a cook time of 20, it is well worth the effort. Try this holiday bread and let us know what you think.
