Pan de Manteca
From 'Mexico The Cookbook' by Margarita Carrillo Arronte
A butter bread from a simple dough that is easy to shape, allowing you to present it in many different styles; but this recipe is for a lattice-grid look.Ingredients
- 150ml milk
- 500g plain flour
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 300g butter
- 2 eggs
- 3¼ tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- To Glaze
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of sugar
Recipe
- Put the milk into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, then let cool and set aside.
- Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, eggs, salt, and milk in a blender and beat for 10 minutes.
- Add the butter and mix for another 5 minutes, then let rest for an additional 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make a ball of the dough and cut it in half. Divide each half into 3 pieces.
- Take a piece of dough and roll it so it measures 15cm. Twist the strip; one end clockwise and the other anti-clockwise. Put the strip on a baking sheet. Repeat this twice more, leaving 3cm between the strips.
- Make 3 more strips and put them in the opposite direction, then braid the strips so that they form a lattice, leaving space for the dough to expand during cooking.
- To make the Glaze; combine all the ingredients with 1 tablespoon water and mix well, then glaze the dough.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
