Easter Sweet Buns (“Pan quemao” o “masa de mona”)
Part of Spain has already started the Easter holidays, and the other part will begin them this coming Thursday. In Spain, most of us are Christians and we celebrate this religious holiday.
In my area, the Valencian Community, it’s typical to prepare “monas de Pascua” and “pan quemaos”. They take a bit of work because the dough has to rise, but the result is so worth it!!
I love the flavor they have, and of course, they include orange!! 🍊

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preferment:
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water (the sugar helps it activate faster 😉). Once foamy, add the flour and mix. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
- 2
Start the dough:
Dissolve the yeast in warm milk.
- 3
Orange prep:
Zest the orange, then juice it.
- 4
Mix ingredients:
Whether we’re doing it by hand or with the help of a stand mixer, we’re going to add the rest of the ingredients to a bowl: the milk with the dissolved yeast, the orange juice, the sugar, and the two eggs…
- 5
Add:
The tablespoon of honey, the pinch of salt, the bread flour…
- 6
Then add:
Orange zest and the preferment.
- 7
Knead:
Now mix and knead for about 10 minutes until gluten develops.
- 8
Add butter:
Cut cold butter into small pieces. Gradually incorporate it into the dough while kneading. If not using a stand mixer, it’s best to knead by hand here.
- 9
First rise:
Cover the bowl and let it rest for 1 hour in a draft-free place (the turned-off oven works great). - 10
Shape the buns:
Once risen, shape the buns however you like—round, long, or even with a hard-boiled egg in the center. You can fill them with Nutella, sweet potato jam, “cabello de angel”… Let rest again, covered, for another hour. - 11
Bake prep:
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C), upper and lower heat. Beat an egg with a splash of milk and brush over the buns. Sprinkle with sugar.
- 12
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown (time may vary depending on your oven). Cool on a wire rack.
- 13
Enjoy:
Crunchy outside, fluffy inside, and your house will smell amazing. I like to eat them for breakfast with apricot jam or dip them in milk! Enjoy!!!!

Chamorro Sweet Roll Style Hot Dog Buns Chamorro Sweet Roll Style Hot Dog Buns
Every time I visit Rota Island, situated between Guam and Saipan, I always buy this bread. They are slightly bigger than average hot dog buns. I looked at the ingredients on the back of the package and figured out how to recreate the taste and texture. Until my next visit, when I can get real ones, I will survive eating these buns instead.My bread maker is a Panasonic SD-BH103 and my oven is Hitachi MRO-GS7. I use Nisshin Food Company brand bread flour and dried yeast. Recipe by Nekozame

I've repeatedly cooked this recipe every year in apple season since then.Adding brandy, rum, cinnamon, and butter to the apple will also be tasty.The apple doesn't have to turn translucent. I prefer a dark yellow apple color.Pears and pineapples instead of apple will be good as well. Recipe by Honey1972 -

Fluffy rolls and pastries made from this dough won't harden even after they've cooled down. I tried out various sweet bread dough recipes and this is the result.Bring the margarine to room temperature and cut it up before adding it to your bread maker. If you can, scatter the yeast around in the ingredients and let sit in the bread maker for one minute before starting the machine. Recipe by commeline -
