Pan Blandito (Colombian Soft Bread)
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.
