This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite Dominican breads. You can improve the recipe just by changing the cheese and ham or adding herbs, onions, garlic, leeks and as many ingredients as you can imagine.
It is a bread with a high caloric content, so it is preferable to eat it at breakfast, accompanied by a simple glass of milk.
Add a spoonful of sugar to the warm water. Mix well and add the bread yeast immediately. Mix well and let rest for 10 minutes.
Distribute the flour in the form of a volcano on a clean surface. Add the rest of the sugar and salt to outside part of the volcano. Add eggs, margarine and yeast mixture inside. Mix carefully, from the inside out, trying to reduce as much as possible the contact of yeast and salt. Knead until you get an elastic dough, which does not stick to your fingers. Let rest, covered with a damp cloth, for approximately 40 minutes.
In a bowl, mix all ingredients well and set aside for the next step.
Stretch the dough and cut into squares of approximately 2×2 inches. Place the dough in a large bowl and add to it the mixture of eggs, milk, ham and cheese.
Mix with a spatula or using your hands, trying to keep the squares separate. Place this mixture in the mold of your preference, previously greased, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Bake at 165 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
