The ingredients you need

Before you begin, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

1. 100 ml of warm milk.
2. 100 ml of warm water.
3. 2 tablespoons of sugar.
4. 8 g of dry yeast.

The first steps

1. Start by mixing the warm milk, warm water, sugar and dry yeast in a bowl. Make sure all the ingredients are well integrated.
2. Then, cover the container and let it sit for 5 minutes. This will allow the yeast to activate and start bubbling.

Preparing the dough

1. After 5 minutes, add the eggs to the mixture and stir until well incorporated.
2. Sift 450 g of wheat flour over the mixture and add a teaspoon of salt. Continue mixing until the dough begins to take shape.
3. Now, it’s time to knead the dough with a spatula. If necessary, add a little more flour to prevent the dough from being too sticky.
4. Once the dough is ready, add 30 ml of vegetable oil and continue kneading on a floured surface for 5 minutes.
5. Place the dough in a cup previously greased with vegetable oil, cover it and let it rest in a warm place for 45-50 minutes. You will see how the dough begins to grow and double in size.

Forming the bread

1. After the dough has risen, it is time to release the gases accumulated in it. Form the dough into a large ball and divide it into 4 equal parts.
2. Then, form each of the 4 portions into a ball and cover them. Let them rest in a warm place for another 20 minutes so that the dough continues to ferment.

The final touch

1. Stretch each portion of dough to the desired size, as shown in the video.
2. Place the stretched dough portions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Poke a few holes in the dough with a sushi stick and place some hard cheese in each hole.
4. In a separate bowl, mix 1 egg with 2 teaspoons of milk and brush the surface of the dough with this mixture.
5. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 25-30 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy.
