TRES LECHES ENSAYMADA

Have you ever tasted pastel ( a custard filled bread famous in Cagayan de Oro) .? Oh, I got carried away by the turnout of the Ensaymada overload and a craving for Pastel so I made a hybrid of these two. 

 Taking it to further overloading by adding tres leches filling. This could be hyperglycemic, I must admit, but the cremé is really superb (which is by the way not too sweet) and filling the bread is simply irresistible....My apologies...



Using the ensyamada recipe fill it with Tres Leches Custard Cremé topped with butter mix and garnish with cheddar cheese. When I say I am pushing it further-- I do seriously pushed it to the limit so here it is!

Note: In this ensaymada version, milk is at 1/2 cup and the result-- dough is stiff and sits for 2 hours to rise properly.  But the ultimate result (ensaymada bread) remains the same. Still delicious!

Place in a baking tray and cover the tray with foil to prevent browning.
Bake at 175 degrees with fan for  35 minutes. Do note that the unfilled ensaymada internally cooks faster than this one with filling so don't be confused with the cooking time.

Cool and garnish.   Enjoy!
