How to Prepare Classic Rosquete Loretano

November 5, 2024 by admin

Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, beat the 4 whole eggs and 12 egg yolks together until well combined.
Add the sifted flour and salt, and mix until the dough begins to thicken.
Add Alcohol and Margarine
Add the alcohol and margarine to the dough, and knead until you have a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
Shape the Rosquetes
Divide the dough into small portions and shape each piece into a ring about 5 cm in diameter (similar to a small donut shape).
Boil the Rosquetes
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then gently submerge the formed rosquetes into the water for about 2 minutes.
Dry the Rosquetes
After boiling, remove the rosquetes from the water and allow them to drain. Then, place them in the sun to dry completely.
Bake the Rosquetes
Preheat your oven to a high temperature (around 375°F/190°C). Once the rosquetes are dry, place them on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Prepare the Syrup
In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add the sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves and forms a syrup.
Beat the Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Combine the Syrup and Egg Whites
Gradually stir the hot syrup into the beaten egg whites, adding a few drops of lemon juice. Continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Coat the Rosquetes
Using a pastry brush, generously coat the baked rosquetes with the bleached mixture.

And that’s it! Now you can enjoy your delicious Rosquetes Loretanos, perfect to accompany a hot cup of coffee or tea at any time of day.
