Venezuela.

Origin
Originally from the state of Táchira, this sweet bread is made from a ferment called
"guarapo" or "talvina" (preferred dough), made with wheat flour,
panela and water that, after being mixed, is left until the next day.

Tips
In baking, the baker's formula is used, which consists of placing all the
ingredients based on flour, which represents one hundred (100%) percent.
In this way, using a rule of three, the weight of each can be determined.

To prepare 12 bread rolls of 45 grams each, we will obtain 540

grams of total mass. When adding the percentages of each of the

ingredients of our baker's formula, we will obtain a percentage


of 197%. Of those 540 grams of total dough, 100% will be flour
baker, that is, 274 grams. Of those 274 grams of flour
baker, we require 35% water, that is, 96 grams. If
we continue using the baker's formula, we will be able to calculate
How many grams of each ingredient are required to make
our 12 rolls of 45 grams each.
This bread uses fifteen (15%) percent butter in relation to the
flour, that is why it is added after mixing all the ingredients
and after the salt. When the butter exceeds five (5%) percent,
it should be added at the end of the kneading and when you add it, don't
despair, the dough is going to separate, so keep kneading until it
dough absorbs the butter and remains smooth, flexible, and soft.
Baker's flour is characterized by the amount of protein it contains.
I recommend that the flour you use contains around twelve (12%)
one hundred proteins.
This recipe follows the direct method of baking, which consists of twelve (12)
steps that go from the preparation and weighing of the ingredients, to the
cooling of the bread. The method describes the steps that are taken to
make bread on the same day. We have noticed that it is generally achieved
the recipes but do not explain the techniques and methods of the home baker,
we hope to close this gap a bit and contribute in the direction of
you can bake very high-quality bread at home.
Usually, the decoration of the cake is done just before putting it in the
oven. As each pastry will have a sugar crust, this step will be
to be done before the final fermentation. The order is changed to generate the
effect of the sugar crust. Now let's look at the ingredients and then
follow the step by step of the baker.

Perform the gluten network test to verify that it has already formed. If
it still needs more time, repeat the kneading cycle of two (2) minutes and rest of

Block fermentation

The dough will rest for two (2) hours at a temperature between 24ºC and

dough. Fermentation ends when the size of the dough doubles.

After the first hour, the manipulation is carried out.

Manipulation
The idea of manipulation is to equalize the temperature of the entire mass and remove the
gases (degass) to prevent the gases from creating a sour taste in the
dough.

Division and weighing

Proceed to weigh the total mass.
Divide the mass into six (6) or twelve (12) equal weight portions, according to your
preference.

Preformed

Each portion applies a round preform. Extend the portion with the side
