CLASSIC ENSAYMADA BREAD



For the Dough:
3 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
Flour for dusting
7g instant yeast (1 sachet)
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup warm milk
1/3 cup warm water (approx. 110°F)
3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
Additional softened butter or margarine for the filling

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

Combine the beaten eggs, warm milk, and water in a separate bowl.

Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir to form a dough.

Mix in the melted butter and knead until the dough becomes elastic and smooth.

Let the dough rest, covered, in a warm area for 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.

Punch it down, divide, and roll into long strips. Coil into rolls.

Let shaped dough rise again for 30–45 minutes on a lined tray.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15–18 minutes or until the tops are golden.

While still hot, brush generously with softened butter and sprinkle sugar over the top.
