A *pitufo* is a little roll, and the sandwich is a single tidy thing built for a quick stop rather than a meal, with ham as the only filling. Because it is small and plain, there is nowhere for a flaw to hide: the roll, the ham, and how the two are warmed are the entire sandwich. The build is short and the technique is in the proportion. The little *pitufo* roll is split, often warmed or lightly toasted at the cut faces and frequently given a thread of olive oil into the crumb, and thin slices of cured ham are folded inside. Because the roll is so small, the ham has to be carved fine and laid in loose drapes rather than packed flat, so a modest amount still reads in every bite and the sandwich does not collapse into bread. Good execution means a roll warmed to a barely-firm face over a soft interior, ham sliced thin and arranged with air in it, and oil, when used, just enough to moisten the crumb. Sloppy execution toasts the little roll hard and dry, slices the ham thick so it sits as a rubbery slab in a sandwich too small to carry it, or skimps so the *pitufo* eats as a plain bread roll with a hint of ham. The variable is the ham itself and the warmth. Everyday *jam贸n serrano* gives a firm, frankly salty version that suits the small format; better *jam贸n ib茅rico* makes the same tiny sandwich taste deeper, its fat slicking the warm crumb, and at that grade the roll is kept plain so nothing competes. The companion small roll dressed with tomato instead of ham is its own thing and deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here, as does the wider Spanish cured-ham *bocadillo* on a full *barra*. What holds is the principle of the format: at this size the ham has to be right, because there is so little of everything else. --- ## More from this family Other [Bocadillo de Jam贸n](https://onesandwich.com/tag/bocadillo-de-jamon/) sandwiches in Spain: - [Bocadillo de Cecina](https://onesandwich.com/bocadillo-de-cecina/) - [Bocadillo de Jam贸n con Tomate](https://onesandwich.com/bocadillo-de-jamon-con-tomate/) - [Bocadillo de Jam贸n de Teruel](https://onesandwich.com/bocadillo-de-jamon-de-teruel/) - [Bocadillo de Jam贸n Ib茅rico](https://onesandwich.com/bocadillo-de-jamon-iberico/) - [Bocadillo de Jam贸n Serrano](https://onesandwich.com/bocadillo-de-jamon-serrano/) - [Bocadillo de Jam贸n y Queso](https://onesandwich.com/bocadillo-de-jamon-y-queso/) - [Bocadillo de Jam贸n](https://onesandwich.com/bocadillo-de-jamon/) - [Bocadillo de Lac贸n con Grelos](https://onesandwich.com/bocadillo-de-lacon-con-grelos/) [See all Bocadillo de Jam贸n sandwiches 鈫抅(https://onesandwich.com/tag/bocadillo-de-jamon/)
