Roscones (Colombian sweet bread)

Roscones (Colombian sweet bread)

Breakfast, To Share
✅ Easy to make These sweet round breads are a favourite for those with a sweet tooth. I used Arequipe (dulce de leche) for the filling although many version use bocadillo (guava sweet).

The dough recipe is very simple and very similar to what you would use for any sweet bread roll, using yeast as the rising agent. I made some cuts with scissors to the roscones and some of the arequipe oozed out so my tip would be to make very small cuts or none at all! Here are the ingredients you will need: (makes 8): 350 g strong white bread flour (plus extra for dusting) 7 g dried active yeast 35 g erythritol (can sub…
