Equipment
- baking pan (13 x 9 inch)
Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 0.67 oz fresh yeast ⅓ of a 2 oz cube or 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 0.5 cup powdered milk
- 0.5 stick butter room temperature
- 1 egg
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 oz chopped hazelnuts
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1.5 tbsp water
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 2 egg yolks egg wash mixed with 1.5 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Add the flour, powdered milk, salt, and butter to a bowl. Dissolve the yeast in milk, add the sugar, and then add this mixture to the other ingredients in the bowl. Add an egg and mix everything together with a hand mixer. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour, then divide the dough into 9 equal parts and form them into balls. Roll out the balls using a rolling pin until they're quite thin.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare the fillings. In 2 separate saucepans, bring the blueberries and raspberries to a boil along with the sugar and lemon juice. Remove the pans from the heat and let the homemade jams cool. For the nut filling, chop the hazelnuts, add them to a separate saucepan with the sugar, water, and cinnamon, and bring to a boil. Once the chopped hazelnuts start to caramelize, transfer the filling to a bowl.
- Fill 3 of the rolled-out pieces of dough with raspberry jam, 3 with blueberry jam, and 3 with the nut filling.
- Slightly fold the long sides of the dough inwards and then completely roll up each piece of dough, starting from the narrow side. Place all 9 rolls into a deep baking pan. Mix the egg yolks and milk, brush the egg wash over the rolls, transfer the pan to the oven, and bake for 25 minutes.
