Pastry Dough
1
Distribute the leaves on a flat surface and brush them with butter
2
Beat the butter and granulated sugar together for 10 minutes or until smooth and pale yellow
Add eggs, beating continuously
Mix in flour and knead with a wooden spoon until it forms an easy-to-spread dough
3
Preheat the oven to high heat
Flip the baking sheet over and line the bottom with parchment paper
Spread one-quarter of the dough evenly, leaving no gaps
Bake for 3 minutes or until, when touched with your finger, the dough doesn't stick
4
Lay a clean towel on a flat surface and dust it with granulated sugar
Place the warm dough on the towel and remove the parchment paper
Spread a little guava cream over the dough
5
Roll the dough into a cylindrical shape, about 30 cm long, squeezing gently
Reserve and release the towel to receive the next layer of dough
6
Repeat the process with another sheet of parchment paper and bake as before
7
Dust the towel with granulated sugar and place the second layer of dough on top
Cover with the filling, then roll this second layer over the first, forming a thicker cylinder
Repeat the process with the remaining layers, then dust with powdered sugar
Serve the cake in thin slices.
