    For the mass<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 150g Flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 5g fresh yeast (or 2g dry yeast)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 80ml of Water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 pinch of salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      \n

      Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. We mix the ingredients and when they are integrated we knead for 10 minutes, stretching the dough and folding it so that it takes in enough air and is very spongy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. After these 10 minutes we make a ball with the dough and place it in a container, cover with a clean cloth and let it ferment for 2 hours, until it doubles in volume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Grease the bottom of a frying pan with just a few drops of oil and reserve for later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. We take the pizza dough out of the container and tap it a few times to eliminate excess air.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. We shape it into a rounded and slightly flattened shape to place it in the pan, pour the tomato sauce, grated cheese and ham cut into squares on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. We bring the pan to the heat, cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes. After this time our Cuban pizza will be ready, with a spongy texture, the bottom and the edges golden and crispy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        \n

        Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • 250 ml of water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 125 g of flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 1 pinch of salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Vegetable oil for frying<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • White sugar for sprinkling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
          \n

          Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Place the water and a pinch of salt in a medium-sized pot over medium heat and let it come to a boil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. When it starts to boil, lower the heat to slow, add all the flour and with the help of a spatula or wooden spoon stir to integrate the ingredients well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. When the dough is formed and no longer sticks to the edges of the pot, it is a sign that it is ready, turn off the heat and let it cool a little to room temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. With the warm dough, place it in a pastry bag or churrera, always with a star-shaped nozzle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. On a tray or baking paper, shape the churros, whether elongated, heart-shaped, or however you like, you will have an approximate total of 8 medium ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Heat enough oil in a frying pan over high heat, when it is hot, add them and fry them until they turn golden brown, being careful not to overcook them so they don't burn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          7. When they are completely golden, take them out of the oil and let them drain on a tray or plate lined with kitchen paper, this will remove excess fat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          8. Finally, sprinkle them with enough white sugar and that's it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          9. Remember that you can fill them with the flavor you prefer, this way you get different types of the same recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
