Bolillos

Cultural Context

Originating in Mexico, bolillos are traditional bread rolls commonly served with meals or used for tortas (sandwiches). They are a staple in Mexican cuisine, often enjoyed fresh with butter or as part of a hearty sandwich. Today, bolillos are popular not only in Mexico but also in various Latin American countries and among communities worldwide, celebrated for their crusty exterior and soft interior.

1

Start with 5 cups of all-purpose flour, which weighs 600 g.

2

Make a small volcano shape with the flour to add other ingredients.

3

Add 3 tablespoons of sugar (30 g) into the flour.

4

Add 1.5 tablespoons of instant yeast (15 g) into the flour.

5

Add 50 g of shortening into the flour mixture.

6

Add about 0.5 tablespoons of salt (5 g) into the flour mixture.

7

Gradually add 300 ml of water, mixing slowly to avoid adding too much at once.

8

Incorporate all ingredients until a dough forms that doesn't separate from the flour.

9

Knead the dough for about 7 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.

10

Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl and cover it, letting it rise for about 50 minutes.

11

After rising, the dough should have doubled in size. Punch it down and divide it into 9 equal portions, weighing around 100 g each.

12

Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for 5 minutes, covered.

13

Grease a baking sheet with shortening or oil.

14

Flatten each ball slightly and shape them into rolls, ensuring they are tight and not flattened too much.

15

Arrange the rolls on the baking sheet, leaving space between them for rising.

16

Cover the rolls and let them rise for another 40 minutes.

17

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

18

Make a shallow cut on top of each roll with a sharp knife or a razor blade.

19

Drizzle a little oil into the cuts on the rolls.

20

Spray the rolls with water using a spray bottle until they are well moistened but not dripping.

21

Bake the rolls in the oven for about 22 minutes until golden brown.
