  Put the raisins in a bowl with the rum. If you need more liquid to cover the raisins, add some water. Take the dough ball and using a rolling pin, make a square till the height of the dough is 3-4 millimeters. keep rotating while you use the rolling pin. After 15 minutes, take the raisins out of the Rum and let them dry a little. Cover the dough with the smoked ham in layers leaving 5 centimeters in one edge and two-three centimeters on the other borders, Put the green olives spread across the surface. Do the same with the Raisins. If you like to add Cheese Cream make a little block like an italian Grisini and put the cheese on the size of the square that you will roll 1st. The idea is that the cream cheese will end at the center of the final bread. Start making a roll with the beginning circle of aprox. 4 centimeters and keep making the roll till you reach the other end. Before closing the roll, with a wet brush (water) wet the final edge of the square and close the roll. same with the ends, Roll them and close them with water. Put the bread roll on a surface with flour, cover with a lightly wet cloth and let it rest for another 2 hours in a warm area of your kitchen.
