Once the panela candy syrup is cool, place the sugar, flour, bran, salt, syrup and yeast and knead with your hands until you have a smooth paste. Then add the butter and continue kneading until it’s well mixed.

When the dough is ready cover with a blanket or plastic for 15 to 20 minutes. Then divide the dough into two parts.

Grease a pan, place baking paper, grease again, use a rolling pin and make the dough as thin as possible. Duplicate the procedure to make the dough you will use

For the top part of the semita.
