Pan de Huevo Chilean Sweet Bread Rolls are the snack of choice at the beach in Chile. Ladies, usually wearing an all-white uniform, sell homemade pieces of bread there. It also is very popular at picnics.
This bread hardens quickly; I recommend freezing them if you have extras.

Super dry dough. I didn’t know what to do with that. Bad
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you.
Maybe you missed an ingredient or used small eggs?
Also, the recipe advises adding water until the dough comes together (step 4).
Good luck.
