In the photo, I used a cinnamon, sugar, butter mixture as my filling but preserves work just as well. The filling for this is 100% your creativity. I used baker’s measures so you’ll need a scale.

Instructions

0/9 Instructions
  • Mix yeast with warm water and allow to sit for 10min.
  • Add eggs, a little at a time, until well combined, then add the dry ingredients.
  • Mix to clean up, where the dough is cleaning itself from the sides of the mixer bowl. Then continue mixing to develop gluten for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Plasticize butter by hitting it while it's wrapped in plastic wrap, add butter in 3 stages. Switch from dough hook to paddle to completely incorporate butter then return to hook until cleanup stage and dough climbs hook.
  • Allow dough to ferment on the plastic wrap for 30 minutes then place in the fridge a minimum of 6 hours.
  • Remove from the fridge, cut in 4 equalish pieces, roll out first to the desired size, use a plate or something to guarantee equal sizes of each one and cut away the excess.
  • Place a rounded piece on a baking tray, cover with a thin layer of filling, roll out next and repeat. Top with (4th) layer, left plain.
  • Use cookie cutter or cup to indent center, don't cut through. From center cut into 4ths, then 8ths, then 16ths.
  • Take two 16ths and twist twice away from each other then push ends together. Once 8 petals are complete allow to rise under plastic for 2 hrs. Egg wash and bake at 375 for 35 minutes.
