Ensaymada

Step 1: Follow Ayeen dough recipe up to Step 8.
Step 2: Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough. Then cut the sides to make a big rectangle.
Step 3. Cut a two-inch dough from the rectangle dough and put your ensaymada fillings (ie: macapuno, bacon, chocolate chips) in the middle.
Step 4: Close the dough, by rolling it length-wise, to seal the fillings in.
Step 5: Grab one end of that rolled though and shape it into a coil.
Step 6: Put these pieces on a pan lined with parchment paper.
Step 7: Make sure the oven is turned off and not hot. Put the tray of ensaymada inside the turned OFF oven to rise for about 10-15 minutes (note: it could be longer if humidity is low).
Step 8: Take the pan out of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F.
Step 9: Bake the ensaymada for 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 10: After baking, brush with softened butter (I prefer Star margarine though, because the taste is closer is to "home"). Roll in sugar. Top with grated cheese.
