1.
First make the dough for the empanadas. In a large bowl dissolve the Fresh Yeast (2 2/3 Tbsp) in Water (1 cup).

In another large bowl sift the Bread Flour (3 2/3 cups) and make a crater in the middle. Add the yeast water to the crater and start mixing. Once mixed a little, add the Olive Oil (3 Tbsp) and keep mixing. Following that, add the Salt (1 Tbsp) and continue to mix thoroughly.
3.
Take the dough out and place on a flat surface and knead with your hands for 10 minutes. Place the dough back in the bowl, pour over some olive oil and cover with a cloth let it rise for one hour and a half.
