Ingredients:

  • 1 (1/4-oz) envelope active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (100o to 110o)
  • 5 cups bread flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Stir together yeast, 1 cup warm water, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup; let stand 5 minutes.
  2. Stir together 6 tablespoons sugar, bread flour, 1/3 cup shortening, eggs, and salt in bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture, and beat at medium speed with mixer, using dough hook attachment, 6 minutes.
  3. Combine remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and all-purpose flour in a bowl, and cut in remaining 3 tablespoons shortening with a fork until blended to form a paste.
  4. Divide dough into 12 equal portions; shape into balls, and place on 2 lightly greased baking sheets (6 balls per baking sheet). Spread 2 teaspoons flour paste on top of each ball. Slightly flatten each ball using a dulce marker dipped in flour or a kaiser roll stamp dipped in flour. Cover dough with wax paper or plastic wrap.
  5. Preheat oven to 170° to 200°; turn off oven, leaving oven door open 1 minute. Place dough, covered, in oven; let rise, with oven door closed, 2 hours and 10 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Remove dough, and preheat oven to 425°.
  6. Bake molletes at 425° for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool molletes on baking sheets on wire racks.
