Flour

320 g
Sugar

60 g
Water

110 ml
Salt

0.5 tsp
Chicken egg

1 piece
Yeast

1 tsp
Olive oil

1 Tbsp
Lard

6 Tbsp

Cooking

I knead the dough in the bread maker. But it can be done manually. Bread machine: add the water, add the flour, sugar, salt, pour olive oil and add the egg. In flour make a hole and pour the yeast. Knead the dough that does not stick to hands.

Manual method: in flour add yeast, sugar, salt. Pour warm water, add olive oil and egg. Knead the dough, dont stick to hands. Please note that the meal may take longer than in the recipe. It all depends on its quality.

For the test I used sugar "Mistral - universal".

The dough cover with plastic wrap or tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, the dough should increase in volume.

Ready divide the dough into 4 pieces (or 8, then the rolls will be smaller). Table sprinkle with flour.

Each piece of dough roll out into an oval. The dough should be rolled quite thin.

Now the dough should be lubricated with a soft grease. According to tradition, in ensaymada take pork fat. You can replace it with butter or olive oil. Of course, it will not be ensaimada and explanation :) Then the dough with your hands to stretch in different directions, the dough was almost transparent. Try not to tear it.

Then on the left side begin to roll the dough into a flagellum.

The flagellum roll snail, but not too tightly, to leave room for dough rise. Lay on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

And you can dream up and fill the buns with fillings. You can take jam, chocolate. Today I have the apricots, chop them finely and put on the left side of the oval, sprinkle with sugar.

And also to minimize the flagellum.

To put the snails on a baking sheet and let rise second time in warm place for 1-2 hours, rolls should be growing again 2 times.

Before baking if desired, brush them with milk. The oven heated to 180 degrees. Bake the buns for about 25-30 minutes until Golden brown (watch on your oven). Cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
