Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
For the filling:
- 1 cup guava paste, chopped
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and yeast. Add to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1 hour.
4. In a saucepan, combine guava paste, pineapple chunks, sugar, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
5. Preheat oven to 375°F. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc and place a spoonful of the guava-pineapple filling in the center. Pinch the edges to seal and place on a greased baking sheet.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
