🛒 Ingredients

64 servings

64
  • 1 kg (8 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 8 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 100 ml (7 tbsp) vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 500 ml (2 cups) warm water
  • 2 packets (14 g) active dry yeast
  • 300 g guava paste, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg yolk for glazing

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.

💡 Chef's Tip

Can't find guava paste? Substitute with quince paste or any thick fruit jam. For an equally glossy finish, strong black coffee works just as well as egg yolk.
