It is most commonly made in environments where material circumstances in the past did not allow for richer fillings.
Recipe:
- 1 kg white flour
- 0,5 l milk
- 100 g sugar
- 120 g butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 tablespoon lard
- 2 egg yolks
- 30 g yeast
Prepare a yeast mixture. Put sieved flour in a warm place. In a bowl, mix together warm milk, sugar, butter, salt and flour. Add activated yeast mixture and egg yolks. Beat the mixture until it separated easily from the spoon, add lard, sprinkle with flour, cover with a dish towel, and put in a warm place to rise. When the dough has risen, turn it onto a work surface and roll it out to the thickness of your little finger. Spread one of the two fillings below over the dough, cut off the edges, roll up tightly, and put into a grased tin. Press with your hand to flatten and prick with a knife in several places to prevent bursting. Let the roll rise, then brush with cream or egg and bake until golden brown.
