Procedure
Preparation of the Batbot:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour with the warm water, baking powder, warm milk, sugar, and olive oil until the baking powder is well dissolved.
- Gradually add the rest of the flour, mixing until a homogeneous dough is formed.
- Add the salt last and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume.
- Divide the dough into four parts, form balls and roll them out into discs about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook the discs in a hot pan until they are golden brown on both sides.
Preparation of the filling:
- Cook the eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes, then let them cool.
- Separate the yolks from the whites and chop the whites.
- Mix the yolks with mayonnaise, honey mustard, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley until you get a homogeneous cream.
- Gently mix the chopped egg whites into the cream.
Assembly:
- Once the bread is ready and slightly cooled, fill it with the prepared egg cream.
