A classic Chilean Dobladitas.
This bread is made with the same dough as Empanadas but folded and baked without filling them. They are rich, bread without a crumb; if you like fluffy bread, I suggest adding baking powder.
The next day, if they are leftover, wrap the Dobladitas in a wet kitchen cloth and heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds at maximum power. They will taste like freshly baked bread.

Yield: 30

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C or 400F.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder if using.
Add the chopped butter and Crisco in small cubes, working with two knives to incorporate the butter into the flour. It will have lumps and look like coarse sand.
Start adding the water or milk and kneading to form a smooth and homogeneous dough.
Divide into 30 balls, 20 if you want them bigger, keep them covered with a clean cloth. Work one by one, roll and cut a circle, and fold in 4.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork for 30 seconds.
Place the Dobladitas on a baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Make holes with a fork.
Bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve warm.
