Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk with the sugar. Mix the flour, salt and one egg, then add the yeast mixture and the softened butter while kneading.
- Knead for about 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough, then let it rise, covered, for 1 h 30.
- Slice the chorizo, ham and pork loin into thin strips. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them into quarters.
- Divide the dough in two. Roll out the first half on an oiled baking tray, arrange the meats and eggs on top, then cover with the second half.
- Seal the edges, brush the top with beaten egg yolk and prick the surface with a fork.
- Bake at 190 °C for 35 minutes, until nicely golden. Let it cool before slicing.
