Pan de Ají o Chile experiencia picantita para disfrutar en familia (con el toque de Luis)

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

aji peppers

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: jalapeños

Bell peppers are milder, while jalapeños add heat.

Cut aji peppers into small pieces and blend with 180 ml of water.

Sift 500 g of flour into a bowl and create a well in the center.

Add 10 g of salt and 45 g of sugar to the flour.

Add 6-7 g of instant dry yeast directly to the flour mixture.

Pour in the blended aji mixture and mix well.

Add 2 eggs and mix until combined.

Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, portion the dough into small pieces of about 30 g each.

Let the portions rest for 15 minutes.

Prepare a mixture of 250 g of cheese, 60 g of butter, and additional aji to taste.

Flatten each dough portion and place a spoonful of the cheese and aji mixture on top.

Brush with beaten egg and let rise for 40 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for 12-14 minutes.
