    Pan Blandito Colombiano (Colombian Soft Bread) |mycolombianrecipes.comPin

    You may be familiar with the horror stories around me and homemade bread baking. But every now and then I manage to pull one off and it gives me hope! I’m totally into the instant yeast lately, which makes baking bread easier for me. I haven’t had Pan Blandito Colombiano in years, but within a week’s time, I had four readers ask if I had a recipe for this popular Colombian bread. I felt like the universe was trying to tell me that now would be a good time to make it, so I did!

    Servings 8 soft breads

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 envelope Rapid Rise Yeast
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup water
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • Mozzarella cheese optional
    • Guava Paste optional
    • 1 beaten egg

    Instructions
     

    • Combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until warm (120°). Add to the flour mixture and mix well. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
    • Divide dough into 8 equal pieces and shape into balls. Work with one piece at a time, keeping the remaining pieces covered under plastic wrap that has been coated with non-stick cooking spray.
    • Roll the piece of dough with a rolling pin until it's thin.
    • Starting with a short side, roll the dough up tightly and pinch the seams and ends to seal. You can stuff the bread with mozzarella cheese or guava paste, placing a piece at the top of the dough and rolling it in to cover.
    • Place on a prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining pieces of dough. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 60 minutes.Brush with the beaten egg.
    • Bake in preheated 375°F oven for about 20 minutes or until done.Remove from pan and brush with additional melted butter, if desired. Serve warm.

    Pan Blandito (Colombian Soft Bread)Pin

    If you've never heard of this bread, Pan Blandito is a soft bread that is sometimes stuffed with cheese or guava paste. This is a very popular bread at Colombian bakeries both in Colombia and in the United States. Every panadería or grocery store in Colombia sells this bread. They are always fresh, soft and super delicious. I didn’t have the same experience though with this bread here in the US. I bought Pan Blandito here a couple of times, but to be honest, it tasted old and was over priced.

    Making this bread at home is very easy, so I’m going to be making it on a regular basis for sure.

    Buen provecho!

      Erica, es necesario que la temperatura de la leche y agua y mantequilla sea exactamente 120 grados? Necesito un termómetro? O hay alguna manera de calcular?

      Gracias

      Mi mamá hace este pan de vez en mes y se supone que debería durar la semana (dura tres días, a lo mucho)

      La mayor diferencia que noté con tu receta es que ella bate la mantequilla hasta que queda muy cremosa antes de añadirla al resto de ingredientes. Eso, y que ella le añade esencia de mantequilla.

      Este se convirtió en nuestro pan favorito. A mí me trajo muchos muchos recuerdos de mi niñez, y a mis hijos les encantó!
      Hice tres tandas el fin de semana que pasó y todas se fueron; rellené algunos con salchicha, otros con queso y los otros los dejé sin rellenar.
      Quedaron deliciosos y muy suavecitos y blanditos. Muchas gracias por la receta nos encantó!

      Hola Erica, hemos intentado la receta en dos ocasiones siguiendo cada paso con detalle. El sabor es delicioso pero por alguna razón no crece. Seguimos los pasos de la levadura como los mencionas y dejarlo reposar/crecer el tiempo que sugieres. Tienes alguna sugerencia? Estaremos haciendo algo mal? Gracias

        Asegúrese que la levadura no ese vencida o muy vieja. Lo que yo usualmente hago es poner 1/4 taza con agua que este tibia. Ósea como 30 segundos en el microondas o que cuando le metas el dedo no te quemes pero no está fría. Le agrego la levadura. Si a los 3-5 minutos no hace burbujas, significa que está vencida ó es muy vieja. Acuérdese que el clima recta también cuando se trata de panes levados.

      Érica, can you bake this in a larger loaf rather than the smaller breads? If so, what would be an approximate baking time & temperature?
      Thank you for your Marvelous Blog! My Colombian husband is much happier since I found you!

        Si
        Un paquete de "rapid rise yeast" es igual a " 2 and a 1/4 teaspoon of rapid rise yeast"

          Intentaré tu receta hoy, sin embargo quiero saber si puedo usar active dry yeast en vez de instant yeast. ¿Sería lo mismo?

      Hi Erica,

      Is this the right amount of water? I mixed everything as listed and the dough was very dry and crumbly. Thanks!
