Cachitos

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add the cold butter cut into cubes, then rub with your fingertips until the texture is sandy.
2. Add the lukewarm milk and egg yolk, then knead for 8 minutes until you have a smooth, supple dough.
3. Cover and let the dough rise for 1 hour, until it has doubled in volume.
4. Divide the dough into 8 balls, flatten each into a disc about 15 cm wide and cut into triangles.
5. Place a slice of ham and cheese on each triangle, then roll it up from the base towards the tip to form a crescent.
6. Arrange the cachitos on a baking sheet lined with parchment, let them rise for 20 minutes, brush with the beaten yolk and sprinkle with sesame.
7. Bake at 200 °C for 15 to 18 minutes, until nicely golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
