About Asturian bollos preñaos

Asturian bollos preñaos are bread rolls enclosing chorizo, associated with outdoor festivities and cider gatherings called espichas. Noelia Rodríguez recalls them from her Asturian childhood and publishes this small-roll rendition with an enriched yeast dough.

Milk, butter and egg contribute to the bread, while the chorizo provides a savoury filling. In this version the sausage goes into the dough without prior cider cooking, allowing its fat to flavour the surrounding crumb.

The individual rolls have a golden baked surface and a piece of chorizo inside. Rodríguez’s recipe describes regional variation rather than a single formula for every Asturian household.
