  • To activate the yeast, dissolve it in warm milk along with 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 of sugar. Let it rest until it doubles in size.
  • Meanwhile, for the dough; mix the flour with the baking powder, sugar, salt, and Margarina Iberia® until achieving a wet sand consistency and form a well in the center.
  • Add the 4 eggs to the center and gradually incorporate until a wet mixture forms, also pour in the pre-fermented yeast and knead until the dough pulls away from the table (Add 1/4 cup more warm milk if necessary).
  • Continue kneading until the dough pulls away from the table, is elastic, soft, and smooth.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size.
  • Add the nuts and knead until incorporated. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions.
  • Shape or round 8 of the portions and place them on a previously greased baking tray. Cover them again and let them rest until they ferment again.
  • Form the bones or canillas with the remaining dough.
  • Glaze the breads with the beaten egg, place the bones, glaze them again, and sprinkle them with toasted sesame seeds. Bake at 180 °C for 30 minutes or until golden.
  • For the filling, dissolve Maizena® Corn Starch Chocolate and the sugar in the milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Once the breads are cool, cut them in half and spread them with chocolate cream just before serving.
