Palmeras with Chocolate Icing
  1. Warm the milk with the butter and sugar until everything is dissolved.

  2. Mix the instant yeast with the bread flour. Add the warm milk mixture, vanilla, and salt, stirring until a slightly sticky dough forms.

  3. Transfer the dough to a floured bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume.

  4. Punch down the dough to remove the air, then knead briefly until smooth and elastic. Roll it out with a rolling pin into a 10ch in by 14 inch rectangle.

  5. Brush the dough with 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp (25 gr.) melted butter and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

  6. Roll both long sides toward the center, cut into 1¼-inch thick portions with a sharp knife, and place them on a tray lined with baking paper, spacing them apart to allow for expansion. Brush with beaten egg and let rest for 15 minutes while the oven preheats to 350°F.

  7. After 15 minutes, brush again with egg and bake at 350°F for 18 minutes.

  8. Melt the butter and milk together in the microwave or in a small saucepan.

  9. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.

  10. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt.

  11. Whisk until glossy and lump-free.

  12. Ideal temperature: 35–40°C / 95–105°F

  13. Dip the cooled palmiers once and let the excess drip off.

  14. The icing sets in about 10 minutes at room temperature.
