-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon active dry yeast -- or 1 pkg
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lukewarm water
3 1/2 cups flour
4 eggs -- beaten and at room temperature
topping -- (please see below)
Topping:
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup flour
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
food coloring -- optional
Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar and yeast into lukewarm water. Let it rest
for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Slowly add in
eggs, salt, and the yeast in the water. Add flour in, 1 cup at a time
until incorporated. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Divide dough into 16 pieces and shape each into a ball. Place on a
lightly greased baking sheet with plenty of space between each dough
ball. Press each ball slightly to flatten it. Let the dough rise for
an hour. After the dough is on it's way to rising, see to the topping.
Mix all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
With your hands, divide the topping into 16 pieces. Roll each piece
into a ball and roll it out on a floured surface until it is large
enough to cover each piece of dough, about 5" in diameter. Lightly
press topping onto dough and use a knife to cut a pattern into the
topping, but not into the dough.
You can do something as simple as lines across the top, or a
criss-cross pattern. If you do nothing, the topping will create it's
own cracks, which is also interesting looking.
After you add the topping, bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or until
bread is lightly golden.
Description:
"These little loaves of bread are perfect for a dessert or a
snack. Pan Dulce doesn't have any preservatives, so the buns don't
keep for very long."
