Roscones

Roscones

This is a traditional Colombian sweet bread shaped like a doughnut and filled with guava paste (bocadillo). Guava paste is the traditional filling, but I have tasted very good versions with dulce de leche or chocolate.

Ingredients

Assembly

  • ½ cup guava paste, or to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup coarse granulated sugar, or as needed

Dough

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ teaspoons instant yeast

Directions

Step 1
Heat milk in the microwave or on the stovetop to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).

Step 2
Place warm milk, egg, butter, flour, white sugar, icing sugar, salt, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.

Step 3
Divide the dough into 4 or 5 equal parts depending on the size of the roscones you want to make. Take one piece of dough and roll it into a roll about 1/2 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough. Flatten the rolls and fill evenly with guava paste.

Step 4
Roll the dough once again so the filling is in the middle and not seen from the outside. Take both ends and paste them together, forming a circle with a hole in the middle (like a doughnut). Place in an oiled baking pan, leaving room to grow. With a sharp, non-serrated knife, make some slits on the top just deep enough that you can see a bit of the filling.

Step 5
Once all your roscones are done, cover and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 7
Brush beaten eggs over each roscone and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.

Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Cook’s Notes:

I like to put them in the middle rack of the oven (off) with a pot of boiling water in the bottom rack to double in size before baking.
