Spanish Bread

For the dough; mix together yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and milk. Set this aside for 10 minutes.

In another bowl mix together bread flour, all purpose flour, 1/3 cup white sugar, and salt. Then add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mixing till it turns into a shaggy dough.

On a smooth surface, knead the dough, dusting with more flour and kneading till it looks smooth or bounces back when poked. Place this on an oil greased bowl and cover for 1 hour or till it doubles.

While this is rising, prepare the filling; mix together breadcrumbs, sugar, salt, unsalted butter and milk. Set aside.

Once it doubles, flatten this and cut it into 20 -22 pieces, or equal 50 to 55 grams of dough balls. Roll lengthwise similar to an oblong, spread1 – 2 tablespoons of filling in the middle and roll towards one end. Dip and coat it with breadcrumbs. Place these on a baking tray and cover for 1 hour.

Bake this in a preheated oven at 180°C or 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes or till the bread has browned. Let this rest on the tray for a few minutes before placing it on a rack to cool fully.

Serve warm with an iced drink or hot beverage.
