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).

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…
