1 hr 30 min90:00 - 4
Divide the dough into 8 pieces, roll each piece into a strip, coil it, and shape it into a spiral.
- 5
Let the shaped dough rise on the tray a second time for 60 minutes.
1 hr60:00 - 6
Bake the ensaymadas in a 185°C oven for 16 to 18 minutes, until browned.
18 min18:00 - 7
While warm, brush them with butter and serve with granulated sugar and grated kasar cheese.
💡 Tip: Let the dough rise twice; with only one rise, ensaymada will puff but stay bread-like instead of getting a cottony crumb.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ensaymada warm, topped with butter, granulated sugar, and grated kasar cheese.
