No teníamos todos los ingredientes para algo elaborado, así que optamos por una receta sencilla. Fue completamente improvisado, pero a veces lo espontáneo resulta mejor de lo esperado.
🥖Para hacerlos utilizamos:
kilo de harina de trigo.
gramos de levadura fresca.
cucharadas soperas de aceite.
item31 cucharada sopera de sal.
cucharadita de azúcar.
500 ml de agua semi tibia.
We didn't have all the ingredients for something elaborate, so we opted for a simple recipe. It was completely improvised, but sometimes spontaneity turns out better than expected.
🥖To make them we use:
1 kg of wheat flour.
100 g of fresh yeast.
100 tablespoons of oil.
1 tablespoon of salt.
1 teaspoon of sugar.
500 ml of lukewarm water.

In the recipe we saw, they kneaded the dough directly on the counter, but I preferred to start in a large bowl to make it easier to combine the ingredients.


We put everything together and started kneading, adding the water little by little. When the mixture was more manageable, I transferred the dough to the kitchen counter to knead it for about 6 minutes, making sure it was well combined.
After kneading, I put the dough back in the bowl, covered it, and let it rest for an hour so the yeast could do its work.


When I uncovered it, the dough had risen considerably and had a much airier texture.

Since I don't have a kitchen scale, I divided the dough in half by eye. Then I rolled out each half and cut it into six pieces, trying to make them as even as possible.



To shape the loaves, I took each portion and rolled it out, trying to give it a square shape. Then I folded one corner towards the center and began to roll it up to form the loaf. I repeated the process with each piece.

I made small crosswise cuts on some of them to give them a nicer detail.

We decided to vary things a bit: half we left them plain and the other half we added a mixture of beaten egg and oregano on top before baking.

Also, with one of the portions I wanted to experiment a little more and made some small sweet rolls. I added a little more sugar to that dough, rolled it out, and prepared a syrup with grated and melted piloncillo (or brown sugar). I spread it over the surface and added a touch of cinnamon. Then I rolled it up and cut it into small pieces.



We let both the savory and sweet breads rest for another hour to rise again.


With the oven preheated for 10 minutes, we baked them for approximately 25 minutes… and they turned out perfect.


The truth is, for such a simple recipe with so few ingredients, the result was incredible. The crumb was soft and fluffy, they're much more filling than store-bought loaves, and the flavor is incomparable.
Since we started making them at home, the ones from the bakery just don't taste the same... without a doubt, there's something special about making bread at home ✨
