  • 1 can drained corn
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 grams dry yeast
  • about 500 grams all-purpose flour

  1. Blend the milk and corn in a blender, then strain through a sieve

  2. Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the oil, egg, sugar, salt, and yeast; mix well

  3. Gradually add the flour, stirring with a spoon, until the dough starts to clump

  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed

  5. Place the dough in a sunny spot to rise for 1 to 2 hours on hot days (longer on mild days), covered with plastic and a kitchen towel

  6. Once doubled in volume, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, punch down to remove air, and shape the dough
