Description
Despite its Spanish-sounding name this recipe is native to the Philippines, where the rolls are a treasured snack at the traditional mid-afternoon break (merienda). The light, airy bread is stuffed with a sweet swirl of rich, buttery breadcrumb filling, then topped with more crumbs for delightful crunch. Our thanks to Hannah Dela Cruz, who shares this recipe with us and observes that each bakery adds its own special take on the ingredients or process; hers is to toast the flour in the filling, which she notes “imparts a rich nutty flavor.”
