Cemita Roll

"This roll is used in Puebla, Mexico for a popular sandwich of the same name. It also would be good for a hamburger or pulled pork sandwich. The roll is sort of a cross between challah and brioche."

directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour,salt, sugar, yeast); whisk together the eggs and oil.
  • Heat the buttermilk over low heat until warm (110 degrees F); do not let boil!
  • Stir the buttermilk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients until liquid is incorporated; let stand 15 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, knead dough until smooth (it will still be a little sticky).
  • Place dough in a oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Depending on how large you want your rolls, divide the dough into eight or four balls, cover, and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Take each ball and flatten it to a disc; place each roll on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, a few inches apart.
  • Cover baking sheet and let rolls rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat ove to 400 degrees F; mix milk and water and brush the top of each roll and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake rolls until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
  • NOTE: Bread lasts a day, but freezes well.
