MelegszendvicsToasted ham and cheese

Melegszendvics is Hungarian student food and the go-to Sunday evening supper in countless Budapest households: slices of bread spread with ketchup or sour cream, topped with ham and grated cheese and baked until the cheese bubbles. Many families own a little sandwich toaster just for it, but a hot oven or grill works just as well. The ham is pork; for a vegetarian version swap it for sliced tomato, peppers and sweetcorn and use a vegetarian cheese. Chef's tip: grate the cheese rather than slicing it, so it melts evenly to the edges and the bread underneath crisps instead of steaming.

JoelhoHam and cheese bread roll

In Rio de Janeiro, this soft baked roll folded around ham and melting cheese is called joelho, knee, after the bent shape where the dough is tucked over itself; elsewhere in Brazil it is known as italiano or enroladinho. Cariocas grab one from the lanchonete counter with a fresh juice or a cafezinho for a quick lunch on the go. The ham is cooked pork, and a pinch of oregano gives it the classic pizza-parlour smell. Chef's tip: leave a clear border of dough around the filling so the folds seal and the cheese doesn't leak out.

Pan de jamónChristmas ham bread

Caracas bakeries start taking orders for pan de jamón in early December, and families set it on the Christmas table beside the hallacas: a soft, slightly sweet bread rolled around cooked ham and smoked bacon (both pork), green olives and raisins, glazed with panela syrup. Each slice shows a spiral of salty and sweet. The common mistake is rolling loosely, which leaves gaps in the spiral. Chef's tip: roll it as tightly as you can, pressing as you go, and seal the seam well before it proves.
