How to make Maca Bread
- Step 1
Peel and dice the onion into small cubes.
- Step 2
Peel and grate the fresh maca.
- Step 3
Sift the flour, then add the sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well and add the butter, previously melted and slightly warm.
- Step 4
Add the grated maca and diced onion, alternating with the eggs (beaten beforehand) and enough milk to form a soft dough that does not stick to your hands.
- Step 5
Take portions of the dough and shape them into medium-sized balls using your palms. Let them rest for 40 minutes.
- Step 6
Once the dough has doubled in size, shape the balls into small rolls, dusting with a little flour as needed.
- Step 7
Place the maca rolls on a greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes.
