Discover how to make bread at home in a simple way with these golden and crispy folds, an ideal recipe to share at breakfast or snack time. This triangle-shaped bread, also known as folded bread or water bread, is popular in various regions of Latin America for its flaky texture and neutral flavor that pairs perfectly with jams, butter, or cheeses.
The dough is made with basic ingredients you probably already have at home: flour, butter, salt, and hot water. The trick is in the kneading and baking: by folding the dough into layers and baking at high temperature, you create a crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside. This recipe is perfect for beginners, as it requires no yeast or fermentation times, and the result is a golden and delicious bread in less than an hour.
You can serve them as a side for soups or stews, or simply spread them with your favorite cream or jam. If you want a shinier finish, brush the folds with beaten egg before baking. Go ahead and make them to surprise your family with the aroma of freshly baked bread!
