It's excellent but the for first timer, they need to specify how many breads you can get for this amount of dough. If these help in anyway I did six

Great recipe. It just forgot the capers (alcaparras).

I made this last Christmas and it was almost as good as the pan de jammon I had eaten the previous Christmas in Venezuela. Although in Venezuela this is a Christmas food, I will be making it all year round.

Good recipe which I followed last year (but by cutting all the ingredients in half). This year I forgot to half the amount and ended up with way too much dough. Makes it hard to roll it as fine as you need to (just not enough surface in our kitchen). Also weighs a ton! (actually more like 6kg when all done which is a LOT). <br/>So my advice - halve all the ingredients. Unless you have multiple ovens.
