How to Bake Telera Buns from Scratch

These nicely bronzed ovals-pillowy, ridged and smudged with flour-are the classic rolls for most Mexican tortas. The mass-produced ones that blanket Mexico (and most Mexican-American bakeries and groceries) serve little purpose other than encasing torta deliciousness. But when made from scratch (especially if you leave the dough to rise and develop flavor overnight), teleras can take an amazing torta experience to an even higher level.

    Chef started out teaching cooking classes and it really shows here. The dude just genuinely loves teaching. I’m sure his staff of professional bakers who make the teleras for his restaurants enjoy these. The only explanation is that he does this for us and for the love of the game.

    I baked these yesterday. I've done a lot of baking over the years, but this recipe has produced THE BEST results of anything I've ever attempted before. I didn't change a thing except the baking time (they took about 30 minutes rather than 18-20), and added a bit more flour during the mixing, and they turned out beautifully. I used them to make Choriqueso Tortas and they were amazing. Thank you Rick!

    If no need to check yeast is alive, then no need to pre-hydrate. Tip everything in bowl. Bonus: can use hotter water; flour protects yeast. Oil the stick instead of flour. Mist buns immediately upon removing from oven or 5min before for crisp shiny crust. Dble batch: freeze some at point of shaped before rising.

    Morton Kosher salt is finer than Diamond Crystal so it will take slightly less than the DC.

    What we use, Diamond Crystal Kosher, is lighter and less salty than the coarse, denser Morton Kosher Salt. So if you're using Morton (or fine table salt), a good rule is to use about half the amount, by volume. -Allison, Rick's Test Kitchen Director

    I just made these and they look and smell amazing! I half-baked them to freeze and finish later. Used lard I rendered myself. Tomorrow I will try the choriqueso. I already love the mushroom torta with goat cheese on a bolillo that Rick makes. My indentations ended up smoothing over during the final rise and bake. Any tips on that? Purely aesthetic problem.

    My childhood memories growing up in the DF [what is now called CDMX] are how different teleras were to those from lower elevation cities [and, hint, that's the reason]. They were yeastier, as they required more yeast due to the elevation. My question is, how could one compensate short of moving to a high-altitude training camp in NM or AZ or CO?

  • @virginiaf.5764

    @virginiaf.5764

    Ай бұрын

    Yes, kneading is important, and so is making sure the dough has risen completely. Here's a little trick to help beginning bakers- when you're done kneading, pinch a little nubbin of dough off and place in a small clear glass (shot glass, juice glass). Then it's easy to tell when it has doubled in bulk. Finally, just call your rolls flat bread. Seriously though, maybe it was your yeast. If it doesn't get nice and foamy after a few minutes, toss it and make sure to use fresh yeast.

  • @johnpneedham

    Did the dough rise properly during the first rise (fermentation)? If not, maybe your yeast was not fresh.

  • @BenBreeg1138

    These were a disaster. I can cook anything but apparently can’t bake. The dough never came together and was way too wet even after over 10 mins with the dough hook. Took it out and had a mess kneading and working in more flour. The rise worked but they didn’t seem to puff up on the last 30 mins before going in the oven. Came out kind of flat.

    You just need to be prepared to adjust. No matter how precise the recipe, baking is never going to be exact. I followed this recipe exactly except for two things: when I noticed the dough wasn't coming away from the mixer bowl after several minutes, I just gradually added a small amount of flour until it did. The other thing was the baking time, which took about 30 minutes (30 minutes is actually the specified time in the written recipe on Rick's website). They turned out great.

    Eltorpedo below is exactly correct. During mixing I saw that I needed a few extra spoonfuls of flour, added those and they came out perfect. Mine are cooling on the counter now.

    Yes! We were just trying to show bakers what it should look like after kneading (in the mixer bowl or by hand). If you do all the mixing with a dough hook, the folding and hand kneading aren't necessary before putting it to rise so we didn't include it in the written recipe. -Allison, Rick's Test Kitchen Director
