Description
This showstopping enriched bread is an enlarged version of an ensaymada, a cheese-topped Filipino sweet roll eaten for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. In Filipino culture, this giant rendition is traditionally shared for special celebrations like birthdays, Christmas, and happy family gatherings. The bread itself is sweet and extra-tender, thanks to the addition of mashed potatoes in the dough. The toppings (sweetened condensed milk, shredded cheese, and grated salted egg) are a specialty in Malolos, Bulacan, and bring the perfect balance of salty and sweet.
