Almojabanas

✅ High Protein ✅ Gluten Free ✅ Easy to make These are one of the most popular breads in the central region around Bogota and Boyaca, these cheese breads are similar to pan de bonos or pan de queso, so delicious with your morning coffee or hot chocolate. Almojabanas are super easy to make and require basic ingredients like maize flour (same as arepa flour), cheese and eggs. The traditional cheese used would be cuajada but as this is not easily found abroad, I used mozzarella or if you can find some ‘queso fresco’ that’s another great option. Here are the ingredients you will need: 1 egg 250g mozzarella 90g maize flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 cup milk Method: In a large bowl, mix the cheese, baking…

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). These are so popular and sold pretty much at every bakery in Colombia. 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…

Apple and Cinnamon Pastries

Bakes, Breakfast, Dessert And Sweets, To Share, Vegetarian

Pastries are a delicious way to start your day, my favourite are puff pastry ones. For these Apple and cinnamon pastries I used red apple although you could use green too. The secret to add more flavour is to use a fruit spread, I used the apple and cinnamon from St Dalfour. The required skills to make these are basic, I used ready rolled puff pastry which is so convenient. These pastries have no added sugar, are super flaky, made in no time and delicious. Here are the ingredients you will need: Ready rolled puff pastry 1 Apple St Dalfour Apple and cinnamon fruit spread Method: Using a cookie cutter, cut circles of approximately 8cm wide, slice your apple and remove the seeds Spread the fruit spread over the pastry…

Pan De Bono
