In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of water and microwave until warm, but not hot.

Add 7 g of yeast and 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the warm milk mixture and mix well; let it rest for about 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and pour in the activated yeast mixture.

Add 2 eggs and mix with a spatula or your hands until combined and smooth.

Incorporate 1/4 cup of melted butter into the mixture until a soft dough forms without lumps.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it until smooth, about 5-10 minutes.

Form the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover it, and let it rest for about 30 minutes until it rises.

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by chopping 1/4 pound of smoked ham and 1/4 pound of bacon into small pieces.

After 30 minutes, roll out the dough into a circular shape and cut it into triangles like a pizza.

Take each triangle, stretch the tips slightly, place the filling at the base, and roll it up tightly to form the cachito shape.

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

In a small bowl, mix 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a splash of water; brush this mixture over each cachito.

Make small pinches with a fork on each cachito to allow steam to escape while baking.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Bake the cachitos for 25 minutes until golden brown.

Once out of the oven, brush the cachitos with melted butter for a shiny finish.
