Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20-25 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 9 rolls

Ingredients

For the dough:
- 250 g flour (preferably type 000, for a finer texture)
- 150 ml milk (warm, but not hot)
- 10 g fresh yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 30 ml sunflower oil (or olive oil for a more intense flavor)
- 7 g salt

For the filling:
- 9 pieces of cabanos (or other favorite cold cuts like hot dogs or salami)

For decoration:
- 1 egg (beaten, to brush the rolls)
- Sesame seeds (for an extra flavor and crunch)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing the dough:
In a large bowl, sift the flour to aerate it. In another container, mix the yeast with the sugar until it becomes liquid. Add the warm milk and mix well. This step is crucial as the sugar helps activate the yeast, promoting proper fermentation.

2. Mixing the ingredients:
Pour the yeast and milk mixture over the flour. Start mixing with a spatula or by hand until the ingredients combine. You will obtain a wet dough.

3. Kneading:
Add the salt and gradually the oil, continuing to knead the dough. Knead well for about 5-7 minutes. The dough should become elastic and smooth. This step is essential to activate the gluten in the flour, giving the rolls a fluffy texture.

4. Fermentation:
Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, until it doubles in volume. You can place it in a turned-off oven that is slightly warmed.

5. Shaping the rolls:
After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly oiled work surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1 cm thick. Cut it into strips 1.5 cm wide.

6. Filling the rolls:
Take each strip of dough and wrap it around a piece of cabanos, making sure to leave the ends free. Finally, ensure the ends are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

7. Brushing and sprinkling:
Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush them with the beaten egg for a golden and appetizing crust. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a crunchy touch and an attractive appearance.

8. Baking:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until they are nicely browned. When ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying.

Serving Suggestions and Variants

Cabanos rolls are delicious served warm but can also be enjoyed cold. You can accompany them with mustard or ketchup for an extra flavor boost. If you want to experiment, you can substitute cabanos with other types of cold cuts, such as feta cheese for a vegetarian option or even grilled vegetables for a healthy choice.

Nutritional Benefits

These rolls are not just tasty but also filling. The flour provides complex carbohydrates, while the cabanos adds protein. Sunflower oil offers healthy fats, and the egg is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.

Each roll contains about 150 calories, and depending on the filling chosen, the nutritional values can be adjusted.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, but the dough will have a denser texture. You can combine white flour with whole wheat flour for a richer taste.

- How can I store the rolls?
They keep well in airtight packaging in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can warm them slightly before serving.

- Can they be frozen?
Absolutely! You can freeze the rolls before or after baking. Make sure to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn.
