How to store
Place the baurus in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Serve hot or cold, but do not reheat.
Can it be frozen?
It's not recommended to freeze ready-made baurus, as they may lose texture upon thawing. If you want to freeze, prepare the fillings separately and freeze only the breads.
What to serve with
Serve with a light green salad or a natural juice to balance the flavor.
Frequently asked questions
What to do if I don't have mayonnaise?
You can replace the mayonnaise with a mixture of plain yogurt and olive oil or with ketchup, which will also give a good flavor.
Can I use other types of bread to make bauru?
Yes, you can use a baguette, garlic bread, or even a homemade bread. The important thing is that the bread is crispy and has texture to support the fillings.
Are baurus better served hot or cold?
The baurus are better served hot, as the mayonnaise and melted cheese provide better textures and flavors. However, they can also be served cold, especially if it is a snack to go.
Can I prepare the baurus in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the baurus without the bread and store the fillings separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. At the time of serving, just assemble and heat in the skillet.
