Main Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place all the dry ingredients in a large round container. Make sure the yeast does not come into direct contact with the salt.
- In another container, place the liquid ingredients (WITHOUT the eggs) and do what is necessary so that the mixture reaches a temperature between 43 to 46 C (110 to 115 F). One way is to use a microwave oven to heat it up (15 seconds at a time so you don't overheat the mixture).
- Beat well the liquid ingredients with the dry ones.
-
Add the egg yolks and beat again. If you have a hand mixer, beat the mixture for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth.
- Cover the dough with plastic and let it rest for 1 hour in a place with a stable temperature and NOT low or very high. I put it in the microwave or in the oven off.
- Roll up your t-shirt sleeves :)
-
When the dough has doubled in size, knead it with 1/4 cup of flour (spread the flour on the surface where you are going to knead).
- Grease two trays (For this recipe I use trays that measure 22cm long x 12cm wide x 7cm deep).
-
Divide the dough into two equal parts, and place it into the 2 long greased bread containers.
- Cover the dough in the molds with a fabric for 1 hour.
- After the dough in the molds has rested for 1 hour, heat the oven to 190C (375F).
-
Brush or spray a little water on top of the bread and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Put the bread in the oven when it has reached the temperature mentioned above.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until brown on top. If you are going to make torrejas , let it cool before cutting it.
Notes
When greasing baking sheets, add a thin layer of margarine or oil.
If desired, this bread can be eaten immediately after removing it from the oven either with coffee, milk, chocolate or a cold drink. But it can also be used to make torrejas.
For this recipe I use baking sheets that measure 22cm long x 12cm wide x 7cm deep.
Mixed numbers are used in recipes. 1 1/2 does not mean 1/2 but 1 and 1/2.
