      In the Chilean bakery there is a branch known as “yellow doughs” those that have a high percentage of yolks such as the calzones rotos, the hojarasca, as well as the dough for sweet empanadas.

      The traditional filling is apple stewed with cinnamon or dulce de alcayota with walnuts

      This time I made it with homemade quince paste

      In case anyone is interested in trying this variation of the traditional empanadas, the recipe is as follows

      30pax (12 ring discs)

      600g 0000 flour

      160g white wine

      2 eggs

      2 egg yolks

      2g salt

      200g of butter

      Its preparation is no different from other doughs

      Sift the dry ingredients, add the eggs and yolks, the white wine and knead until the flour completely absorbs the liquid ingredients, so that there are no marks or white spots and finally add the butter and knead until a smooth and homogeneous dough is obtained

        how nice of you to share the traditions of your country!

        Your yellow masitas look golden brown and with a generous filling, just as they should be. The dough has that texture that promises a soft bite but with character, and that homemade quince jam sure does all the work in the flavor.

        One question: how did you get the filling to hold that perfect shape without spilling out when baking? Because in the photo it looks impeccable.
        Thanks for showing us your creation and sharing it with the community.🙌🏻

        • sussan Estela Olaya remained stable thanks to the thickness of the quince jelly

          Quince is one of the fruits with the highest percentage of pectin, so when cooked to make the jam, it remains as a solid block, something like a tighter gelatin

          When heated, its water activity is reduced even more, so it ends up thickening much more, something similar to when jam is used in cookies, which when it comes out of the oven is like a jelly, almost like a chewy candy

          This variation of sweet empanadas with homemade quince paste sounds absolutely delicious! 🤤 The dough with such a rich yolk base must give it such a beautiful texture. I love how you’ve adapted the traditional recipe with your twist.

          Quick question – how does the quince paste compare in terms of sweetness and texture to the classic fillings like stewed apple or dulce de alcayota? Does it offer a similar balance of flavors, or is it a bit more intense?

          • lana Mihajlović quince is one of the fruits with the highest amount of pectin so when cooked, as if it were a jam the result is a kind of thick jelly

            As for its flavor it has acidic notes, the best way to describe the taste of quince would be to say that it is a mixture of apple and lemon

              @Leonardo Cartes That’s a great explanation, thank you! The high pectin content makes sense—no wonder quince paste has such a firm, jelly-like texture. And that mix of apple and lemon flavors sounds like it would add a really nice contrast to the richness of the dough.

              • lana Mihajlović raw quinces are very fibrous, raw they are eaten with a little salt, you add as you eat

                The bad thing is that when they come off the tree they have a few days of shelf life so you have to prepare that paste to preserve them

                Love

            ¡Qué maravilla de aporte! Acá en Argentina solemos hacer una versión similar pero en forma de pastelitos, con masa de hojaldre y ese relleno de membrillo que es pura gloria 🇦🇷✨. Las empanadas dulces también tienen su lugar en nuestra tradición, y esta masa amarilla suena espectacular: ¡el vino blanco le debe dar un perfume increíble!
            ¿Alguna vez probaste hacerlas fritas en vez de al horno? ¡Gracias por compartir esta joyita! 🧡

            • @Sol Damiani me inspiré en esos pasteles para hacer esta receta y es que viendo Reels de Instagram me salió un vídeo de la elaboración de esos pastelitos y me di empecé a preguntar porqué nunca se había usado el dulce de membrillo como relleno

              Realmente el uso de vino puede dar muchas notas de sabor y aroma a la masa, en la panadería chilena se puede ver mucho la utilización de vino o aguardiente como complemento del agua o bien reemplazar completamente el agua de las recetas

              En cuanto a freírlas, no me lo había cuestionado, lo voy a intentar la próxima vez que haga, para ver cómo quedan

                @leonardo-cartes ¡Qué maravilla cuando Instagram nos sirve de inspiración y mucho más cuando nos genera preguntas! Ya nos cuentas qué tal te queda si intentas freirlas. Abrazo, Chef
