PAN DUSHI (ANTILLEAN SWEET BREAD)



Pan Dushi (Antillean Sweet Bread) image

When we lived on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, our neighbor had a bakery and we would wake up each morning to the aroma of fresh bread and these rolls! It was sweet torture and many times we would give in and treat ourselves to these yummy rolls for breakfast! (Prep time includes time for dough to rise two times. Recipe did not include serving size or yield, so I'm guessing on the servings...)

PAN DULCE - MEXICAN SWEET BREAD



Pan Dulce - Mexican Sweet Bread image

You cannot have one of these unless you have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and a good friend sitting at your kitchen table with you talking about the lastest "chisme". I remember going to the local panaderia with my Nana and picking up some pan dulce if she knew she had company coming. I would sit at her plastic covered table cloth and not have to worry about any drips as I dipped my bread into the cafe con leche and listened as the conversations flowed around me. I wish I had had this recipe back then and I would have made it for her. This recipe is different from others in that you can make it the night before and then stick it in the oven in the morning and serve it to those you love!

3 1/2 cups flour
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons shortening
1 egg
1 1/4 cups tap water
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup flour

Steps:

  • Stir together 1 cup of the flour, the yeast, salt, sugar, and powdered milk. Add shortening, egg, and hot water.
  • Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add another cup of flour and beat at hight speed for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour and mix well.

  • Topping: Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolk and cinnamon and blend. Add flour and mix well. Mixture may be crumbly. (I had to add a lot more flour at this point- maybe even 1 1/2 cups).

  • Sprinkle equal amounts of topping over each bun and press lightly into dough.
  • Loosely cover rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 to 12 hours. remove from refrigerator, uncover, and let stand while preheating oven to 400°F Bake for 15 minutes.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Breakfast Bread Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup milk
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup butter
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and butter. Heat until slightly warm to the touch then remove from heat and stir in the yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Mix in the eggs, oil and the yeast mixture. Mix until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place the dough into the bowl and turn once to coat. Cover and let stand in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
  • Use remaining oil to grease a cookie sheet or 9x13 inch pan. For plain rolls, punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place them into the greased pan side by side. Let dough rise for 20 to 25 minutes, or until almost double. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until rolls are golden brown.

Tips:

  • Using unsalted butter and measuring it correctly is essential for the best results. Soften the butter to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar to ensure a smooth and fluffy mixture.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the mixture from curdling.
  • For a richer flavor and moist crumb, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense bread.
  • Be patient and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This ensures a light and airy bread.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven at the correct temperature to achieve a golden brown crust and evenly cooked interior.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
