Activate yeast by mixing 130 ml of warm water, 100 ml of milk, 30 g of sugar, and 10 g of yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine 450 g of flour and 9 g of salt.

Add the activated yeast mixture and 50 g of melted butter to the flour mixture.

Mix with a dough hook at medium speed for about 5 minutes until the dough separates from the sides.

Add the egg and mix for another 5-8 minutes, adjusting flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Form the dough into a ball and let it rise in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

After rising, punch down the dough and roll it out into a large circle.

Cut the dough into 8 portions using a pizza cutter.

Roll each portion into a triangle shape, making the tip as thin as possible.

Prepare the filling by mixing 400 g of diced ham and 100 g of diced bacon.

Place about 50 g of the filling in the center of each triangle and roll them up, tucking in the sides.

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

Brush the tops with beaten egg.

Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (about 300°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Brush with melted butter while still warm before serving.
