- Preparation: 90 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (152 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 90 g Flour, all-purpose
- 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
- 35 g Milk, whole
- 8 g Butter, unsalted
- 6 g Sugar
- 10 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 1 g Salt
Method
- Warm the milk slightly and dissolve the yeast and sugar in it; leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, then stir in the melted butter, egg and yeast mixture, bringing it together into a soft dough.
- Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, then place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled.
- Shape the dough into a soft, slightly flattened oval roll and place it on a lined tray.
- Cover and let rise for a further 30 minutes, until puffy.
- Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15-18 minutes until pale golden (pebetes stay soft and light in colour, not deeply browned).
- Cool slightly, then split and fill with your favourite sandwich filling, as is classic in Argentine bakeries.
