Description
Repeat the same procedure with the second part of the dough. In any case, some jam will leak from the dough onto the baking sheet and may burn a little. To prevent this, use only the top heat of the oven, and place another tray with water underneath the one with the twists — as it evaporates, it will prevent the pastries from sticking and the leaking jam from burning.
Ingredients
- Dried cranberries with sugar - 2 cups
- Milk - 1 cup
- Wheat Flour - 17.6 oz
- Dry yeast - 0.4 oz
- Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces
- Salt - ½ teaspoon
- Sugar - 2 tablespoons
- Butter - 2.5 oz
- Powdered Sugar - to taste
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Dissolve the yeast in warm milk, add half of the flour, mix, and let the resulting sponge sit in a warm place for 15–20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, blend the cranberries, add sugar to the cranberry mixture, place everything in a saucepan, and simmer over low heat without covering until the mixture thickens (the thicker the consistency, the better). Stir occasionally! After about 40 minutes (while you are making the dough), the mixture will thicken and be ready.
Step 3
Take the eggs, add salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar, whisk, and pour into the sponge. Add melted butter and knead the dough, adding the remaining flour. The dough should not stick to your hands.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll out a rectangle about 30x45 cm, approximately 5–7 mm thick. Spread half of the cranberry mixture on this, leaving a 1 cm edge.
Step 5
Roll the dough into a log: cover the middle part with one third of the wide side and then cover with the other edge. Pinch the edges of the dough and lightly roll the log with a rolling pin. Cut the log into strips about 3 cm wide.
Step 6
Twist each strip 3–4 times and shape into a ring like a wreath, pinching the ends, and place on a greased baking sheet.
Step 7
Place in an oven preheated to 200–410°F for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the finished wreaths with powdered sugar.
