✅ Easy to make
These delicious sweet bread rolls are easily found at any Colombian bakery, it is so popular as a snack with coffe or on its own any time of the day.
One of the reasons why these are so popular is because of the sugar sprinkles on top. The inside is super fluffy and fillings are usually arequipe (dulce de leche) or bocadillo (guava sweet) people are always divided as to which one is the best but you might guess by my choice of filling which one I prefer.
Here are the ingredients you will need::
- 350 g strong white bread flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 7 g dried active yeast
- 35 g erythritol (can sub for caster sugar)
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 180 ml milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
Filling: Dulce de leche
Egg wash and erythritol to top
Method:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the bread flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Set aside
- Warm your milk just enough so the softened butter melts when added in, whisk in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix well, the dough might be sticky, if so add more flour little by little. Cover with a cloth and let rest of 5 minutes
- Transfer the dough to a well floured surface, oil your hands before start kneading. Knead for around 8-10 minutes until the dough is soft and bouncy.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl to prevent it from drying, cover and rest in a warm dry place for 50 mins (first rise)
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch dough and over a floured surface, divide the dough into 8 portions, using your hands or a rolling pin flatten each into a rectangular shape, add the dulce de leche to one end and then roll, keep rolling until you have a thin long strip, roll in a spiral shape.
- Place in your baking tray, cover and rest for further 40 minutes (second rise), add your egg wash and some erythritol
- Bake at 180c for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and enjoy! These will keep soft for a couple of days but are much nicer freshly made. You could also freeze them.
