Pan Dulce

Preparations:  Set out the eggs about 1/2 hour to an hour before you begin so they'll reach room temperature.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Pan Dulce:  Place yeast in water and let stand until yeast dissolves. Sift flour, sugar and salt together in bowl. Add yeast mixture, melted butter or margarine and eggs and beat until smooth. Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour.

Topping:  Place topping ingredients in a bowl and mix. Reserve. When dough has doubled, knead on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic. Shape dough into balls about 1-1/2 inches in diameter and place on greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart; press each ball to flatten slightly. Place about 1-1/2 tablespoons of topping on each roll. Let rolls rise until double, about 30 minutes.

Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with hot chocolate or coffee. Since pan dulce is a little on the dry side, the liquid accompaniment is important. Pan dulce freezes well. Thaw and reheat in a 400-degree oven for about 5 minutes.
