The golfeados<\/strong> are part of the Venezuelan culinary culture<\/strong>The EU has been a member of the European Union for many decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sweet and fluffy bread<\/strong>with its characteristic spiral shape, was born in Caracas<\/strong>in a small bakery in the 1940s<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creators were two brothers who wanted to offer something different, a bread that wouldombines sweet and savoury in a delicious and unique way.<\/strong> And they did, the golfeados<\/strong> quickly became a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the detail that sets them apart from other sweet breads is the hand cheese<\/strong>a Venezuelan cheese<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>which provides a perfect salty contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find them in bakeries in almost every corner of the world. Venezuela<\/strong>and they are always a perfect accompaniment to a good coffee<\/strong> or, better still, a lemon paprika<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients needed and how to find them in Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"flour<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Make golfeados <\/strong>at home can seem like a challenge if you are far from Venezuela<\/strong>but don't worry, in Spain <\/strong>there are many ingredients that you can use as substitutes without losing the authentic taste. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The flour<\/strong> is key to the The sweetened biscuits will be fluffy. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Venezuela<\/strong>is used normal wheat flour,<\/strong> but in Spain<\/strong> we recommend that you use strong flour<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This flour has a little more gluten<\/strong>This will make the dough rise better and be fluffier. You can easily find it in supermarkets such as Mercadona<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>Carrefour<\/strong><\/a> o <\/strong>Lidl<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The newsprint<\/strong> is essential to give it that sweet and caramelised flavour of the golfeados<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Spain<\/strong>, find newsprint<\/strong> can be tricky, but don't worry, you can substitute it with panela<\/strong>which is quite similar and is sold in shops specialising in Latin products<\/strong> or even in some supermarkets.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to use brown sugar<\/strong> mixed with a little bit of honey or molasses<\/strong>This will also give you a result very similar to the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand cheese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The hand cheese<\/strong> is a unique ingredient of the golfeados<\/strong>but it is not easy to find outside Venezuela.<\/strong> However, in Spain<\/strong> you can use various types of cheese that resemble it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fresh cheese<\/strong> Spanish is a good option, or you can also try with fresh mozzarella <\/strong>which has a smooth texture and melts well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer something more savoury, the soft feta cheese or cottage cheese <\/strong>can add an interesting touch to your golfeados.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, if you want it to be hand cheese <\/strong>and not another similar one, you can always find it at shops specialising in Latin products<\/strong>as <\/strong>Send it Maket<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The yeast<\/strong> you need for the golfeados<\/strong> is the bakery dry<\/strong>which can be obtained in a very simple way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure to activate it well in warm water with a little sugar before mixing it with the flour, so that the dough will rise properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To complete the recipe, you will also need butter, sugar, salt, and one very important thing: aniseed.<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aniseed <\/strong>gives the characteristic aroma to the golfeados<\/strong>. You can find it in the form of seeds or ground in supermarkets.<\/strong> Don't skip it, because that's what gives it the special touch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these ingredients, you'll be ready to start making your own golfeados<\/strong> at home. As you can see, with a few adjustments you can perfectly recreate the taste you miss so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
