I usually don't cook bread using white flour but once in a while, I need a treat. There are some breads won't taste the same with whole wheat flour.
I am not sure about the origin of this bread. Cremona is an Italian city. So probably it is a typical bread from that city made in Argentina by Italian descents.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb all purpose flour
- 1/2 TB yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- pinch of sugar
- approx. 1/4 lb. vegetable shortening
Heat the oven. In the meantime, let the yeast rise in warm water.
In a medium container, put the flour making a well in the center. Add the yeast, sugar and shortening.
Mix the ingredients in the center and little by little add the flour together until the dough is smooth.
Make a ball and let it rise until it doubles the volume. Make a rectangular shape, brush it with a bit of butter or shortening and fold it in the middle by the long side. Join the ends with a round shape. Cut the outside in sections.
Bake it in hot oven until is golden and crunchy.
Enjoy!
