I used half to make cinnamon rolls and half to make bolillos.

I patted dough down to make a rectangle shape. 

Be careful not to get dough too thin.

I rubbed spreadable butter all over leaving a 1/2 inch empty space close to edge.

I mixed 3/4 c sugar and 3 T cinnamon together and sprinkled over butter.

Roll tightly and pat ends in.

Pinch seams.

Cut in half then each half in rolls.

I got 12.

Spray pan heavily with nonstick.

Bake middle rack, preheated 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool 10 minutes before frosting.

Frosting

1/4 c spreadable cream cheese 

1/4 c spreadable butter

1 t vanilla 

1/4 c powdered sugar

Mix well with a fork.

Psalm 55:16-19

    [16] But I call to God,

        and the LORD will save me. 

    [17] Evening and morning and at noon

        I utter my complaint and moan,

        and he hears my voice. 

    [18] He redeems my soul in safety

        from the battle that I wage,

        for many are arrayed against me. 

    [19] God will give ear and humble them,

        he who is enthroned from of old, Selah

    because they do not change

        and do not fear God.

Fried Chicken Torta

Psalm 53:1-3

There Is None Who Does Good

To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

    [1] The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

        They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;

        there is none who does good.

    [2] God looks down from heaven

        on the children of man

    to see if there are any who understand,

        who seek after God.

    [3] They have all fallen away;

        together they have become corrupt;

    there is none who does good,

        not even one.

Psalm 52:6-7

    [6] The righteous shall see and fear,

        and shall laugh at him, saying, 

    [7] “See the man who would not make

        God his refuge,

    but trusted in the abundance of his riches

        and sought refuge in his own destruction!”

Oh my goodness!

3-3/4c AP flour

2 T yeast (3 packets active dry)

1-1/4 c warm water

1/4 c olive oil

5 T sugar

1 beaten egg

1-1/4 t kosher salt

Add 2 T of yeast to 1.25 cups of warm water. Whisk 5 T of sugar and 1/4 c olive oil.  Let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Add 3.75 cups flour, 1-1/4 t salt, and 1 egg. Mix with a spatula and then place onto a parchment sheet on counter.  Knead with your hands until you have a smooth ball of dough. Add additional flour if it's sticking to your hands.

Using spatula cut into eight equal parts. Roll into balls.  

Flatten into oval shapes. Flip 1/4 of the disk towards you and seal. Now pull that part towards you and seal again. Continue until you have a tube of dough. Give a quick roll while putting pressure on the ends to get the traditional bolillo shape.

Cover and let rise for 10-30 minutes. Using kitchen shears, snip a lengthwise 1/4 inch deep slit on the bolillos just before baking. 

Bake preheated oven for 8-15 minutes at 425F.

Cool.
