How to make pan dulce

  • Combine the 2/3 cup milk, shortening and butter in a saucepan.
  • Heat just enough to melt the shortening and butter, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • At this point stir in the beaten eggs. Heat the 1/3 cup milk until it is just room temperature and stir in the yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
  • Allow the mixture to sit until bubbles form on the surface, about 10 minutes, then stir it into the milk and egg mixture.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Stir in the yeast and milk and egg mixture to make a medium dough, one that is not too damp or too dry, adding flour or water as needed.
  • Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes or process it in a food processor for 40 seconds.
  • Lightly grease the dough, place it in a dish, cover it with a damp towel and allow it to rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • While the dough is rising cream together the topping ingredients.
  • After the dough has risen, divide it into 16 balls, then roll balls into circles about 3 inches in diameter and place them on baking sheets.
  • Brush each dough circle with a mixture of 1 egg white and 2 tablespoons water. Cover them with a thin layer of the topping.
  • At this point you may leave the topping as is or cut designs such as parallel lines into it with a thin knife.
  • Drape a damp towel over the rolls and allow them to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Bake about 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 375 degrees F.
