  2. 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining 15 teaspoons of sugar and the oil and mix until smooth. Add the salt, 1 cup of flour and the yeast mixture; stir well. Add the remaining 5 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  3. 3 Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, supple and elastic; about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in it and turn to coat the dough with oil. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume; about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equal pieces. Form each piece into a cylinder and roll out until the 'log' is 1/2 inch in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut each 'log' into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the pieces, flat side down, onto two lightly greased baking sheets. Gently press each roll down to flatten.
  5. 5 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  6. 6 Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil without stirring to avoid the mixture crystallizing. Continue to boil, swirling the pan occasionally, until sugar syrup begins to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and watch the color.
  3. 3 Once the caramel is a deep brown, 2 to 3 minutes, immediately pour it into a 10-inch flan mold. Carefully tilt the mold to make sure the whole bottom surface is covered.
  4. 4 Combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir lightly to prevent bubbles or foam from forming; strain batter.
  5. 5 Place a roasting pan large enough to hold the flan mold on the oven rack. Fold two 32-inch long sheets of foil lengthwise in quarters to make strips. Cross the strips and place the flan mold in the roasting pan, with the ends of the strips extending over the edges of the roasting pan. Crimp ends slightly to keep them in place.
  6. 6 Slowly pour the custard mixture into the caramel-lined flan mold.
  7. 7 Add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the mold. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until firm and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven. Carefully remove the flan mold from the roasting pan using the foil strips. Let cool on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until completely cool, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. 9 Run a paring knife around the edges of the flan. Cover the mold with a rimmed platter and carefully flip it over to release the flan from the mold for serving. Scrape any excess caramel from the mold over the flan.
