Steps

1 hr 30 min

1

Prepare the dough by mixing the salt, bread flour, sugar, and yeast. Gradually add the warm milk.
2

Continue mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3

Knead for about 15 minutes, or until the dough is smooth. Let it rise until it doubles in size.
4

Punch down the dough and divide into 80-gram (about 2.8-ounce) portions. Shape into balls, cover the surface with vegetable lard, and top each with 30 grams (about 1 ounce) of the topping paste.
5

Let rise for 40 minutes before baking. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes.
6

For the topping, mix the bread flour, powdered sugar, and vegetable shortening. Divide into two portions and add cocoa powder to one half.
