Key Ingredients
Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Step 2
For the dough: Mix the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar and warm water, set aside until it doubles in volume. Form a well with flour and ¾ cup sugar; pour the fermented yeast, evaporated milk, one egg, egg yolks, 2 sticks butter and vanilla extract in the center.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients to form a smooth, elastic dough that does not stick to your fingers, kneading it and hitting it on the table.
Step 4
Place it in a large greased bowl; brush the surface of the dough with a little oil and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in volume.
Step 5
For the Sugar Paste: Beat 2 sticks butter with 1 cup sugar and ½ can LA LECHERA® Sweetened Condensed Milk; add 2 cups flour and baking powder and beat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Step 6
Place the dough on a floured surface and knead gently to remove the air and divide in two. Form 2 breads of the same size, insert the dolls and place them on greased and floured baking sheets; brush with a little oil. Cover with plastic wrap and leave them to rest in a warm place until they double in volume.
Step 7
With the help of a rolling pin, spread the sugar paste on a floured surface and cut into thick strips. Brush the breads with the egg; place the cheese strips and decorate with tie strips. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool before serving.
