Guava Paste Stuffed Rolls

Directions

1. 1

   Sift the flour onto a clean work surface or into a large bowl and create a well in the center.

2. 2

   In a blender, combine eggs, sugar, salt, oil, warm water, and yeast until smooth and well combined.

3. 3

   Gradually pour the blended mixture into the flour well and knead vigorously for about 10 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic.

4. 4

   Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion out into a rectangle about 5 mm thick.

6. 6

   Cut each rectangle into 4 strips lengthwise, then crosswise into 4 pieces, creating 16 small squares per portion.

7. 7

   Place a piece of guava paste in the center of each square and roll up tightly, pinching the edges firmly to seal.

8. 8

   Arrange the rolls side by side in a greased baking pan and brush with egg yolk mixed with a little water.

9. 9

   Allow to rise again for 30 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (390 °F) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
