Mix the yeast with warm milk and sugar; let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and water; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Cut the dough into triangles, about 4 inches wide at the base.

Place a slice of ham, cheese, and bacon on each triangle.

Roll the triangles from the base to the tip, forming a crescent shape.

Place the rolled cachitos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Let the cachitos rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake cachitos for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
