food recipe
DOUGH
175 ml milk (lukewarm)
20 g granulated sugar
8 g vanilla sugar (1 tablespoon)
7 g instant yeast (1 tablespoon)
35 g unsalted butter
25 ml sunflower oil
1 egg (medium)
400 g flour (all-purpose)
5 g salt (â…š teaspoon)
FILLING
16 cream cheese wedges (at room temperature)
GARNISH
250 g honey
Pistachios (or walnuts)
Melt the butter over low heat in a saucepan and let it cool.
In a large bowl, add the lukewarm milk, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and yeast. Stir well with a whisk.
Add the sunflower oil, beaten egg, and melted butter. Mix well. Then add the flour and salt. Mix and knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
Place the cream cheese wedges in a bowl and mix until smooth.
Divide the dough into two equal parts of about 350 grams each.
Dust your work surface with flour and roll one part of the dough into a rectangle. Spread half of the cream cheese over the dough. Repeat with the other half.
Roll the dough tightly.
Cut into equal-sized pieces.
Place the dough rolls (swirls) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them rise for 30 minutes or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (390 °F). Bake the swirls for 12-18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Check the baking time, as each oven is different.
Brush the warm swirls with honey and garnish with chopped pistachios or walnuts.
