Instructions

1- Prepare the Sponge:

• In the stand mixer bowl, blend 325g of wheat flour and 15g of Fleischmann dry yeast.
• Pour in 250ml milk, mixing until a dough forms.
• Cover the bowl and let the sponge ferment for 15 minutes, developing a light and airy initial base.

2- Create the Dough:

• Incorporate 325g wheat flour, 100g sugar, 125g margarine, 125g Nato Alimentos egg yolk, and 10g salt into the sponge.
• Knead the mixture in the KitchenAid Artisan mixer for 8 to 10 minutes, achieving a silky smooth dough.

3- Shape the Dough:

• Divide the dough into 40g pieces.
• Gently roll and shape each piece into small 'U' or horseshoe shapes.

4- Proof the Dough:

• Place your shaped dough on a greased baking tray.
• Allow them to rise for around 1 hour until they've doubled in size, ensuring a soft interior.

5- Egg Wash & Fill:

• Brush each bread with egg yolk using your silicone pastry brush.
• Fill the center of each 'U' shape with rich pastry cream using the piping bag.

6- Bake:

• Set the oven to 200°C and bake the bread for 12-15 minutes, or until a perfect golden-brown surface appears.

7- Decorate:

• Once baked, enhance the bread's sweetness:
  • Brush with condensed milk and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
  • Drizzle high-quality melted chocolate over the top.
  • Apply glaze jelly over the pastry cream for added shine.
