But this cake all my life known as pre z Boer rolls, thanks to the internet I learned that the concerned city was called Pressburg, therefore correct pronunciation. And you know that it is a city? Bratislava. This means that we pastry recipe for presburško comes from Slovakia. Who wants more to explore this rich culinary tradition, the direction of Vera's blog Astal - Kitchen of my plain, where there are several excellent Slovak recipes.
These rolls do not resemble the classic "rolls" as they are made in homes and filuju anything and everything, and salty and sweet, so after firing beautifully soft and juicy and the next day completely dry and crumbly, and ripe for the rubbish bin. The dough goes presburško considerable amount of fat and after firing more like cookies than to classic rolls. However, it is not a classic recipe for crisp test predicts yeast. This allows the blockhouse neither here nor there.
- 500 g flour (I used sharp, but I think it is better to take a soft yeast dough for all)
- 250g butter or lard (here - fat)
- 1 egg
- salt 2 tablespoons sugar
- 100 ml warm milk
- 15 g fresh yeast
Filling:
- 200 ml hot milk
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- bag of vanilla sugar
- 250 g ground nuts
icing sugar top
First, warm up the oven to 170 degrees. Can be a little cooler if baking with fan, certainly warmer because you will get burned rolls, and stay inside underdone (as my first tour).
Second, Grandma's recipe requires cunning "little leaven". Intuitively, I decided it was a bit of yeast one-third standard cube of 42 g (slightly less than 15 g but not meter precision balance) and it turned out that this is the right measure. Rolls should not "go wild", but only a little to grow.
So, take these 15 g of yeast and dissolve it in warm milk that have been interfered spoon of sugar. Add another tablespoon of flour, along with a teaspoon of salt. Fat cut into pieces, also add the flour and one egg. Finally go milk with yeast, so that everything is well interfere with the compact, smooth dough.
Allow dough to rest a bit, during this time prepare the filling. Grind the walnuts (or hazelnuts), and in one let the pan boil milk. In it, add sugar, vanilla sugar and nuts, mix well and immediately remove from heat.
divide dough into two balls. Sprinkle work surface with flour and add layers every ball rolling pin into a circle. Pizza knife cut circle into eight equal parts. At each place a teaspoon of filling in and tighten them in the form of rolls. Slightly bend the ends of the crescent shape. Ređajte rolls on baking sheet lined bakpapirom and bake about 30 minutes.
When removing them from the oven, a good roll in icing sugar rolls. I did not want to bury them to turn out fotogeničnije, but since the cake I go a little sugar, it is important that it subsequently added in abundance.
What have I changed? on your hand I smeared over the beaten egg rolls , which is not necessary given that the end should be rolled in sugar. It only prevents the egg to the sugar sticks to the nice dough. So, it does not. Others have done all the prescription and that they would not back the right nothing has changed.
Verdict: The hardest thing is to leave the rolls for the next day, and only then are good. While still hot too crisp, break up. When they play for the night, soften and develop flavor. Although the bakery recipe leaves a choice between fat and butter, I decided to fat because the traditional recipe and comes at a time when no one could afford a quarter pound of butter KRKNA the dough. With butter taste test I would certainly be richer, but the texture would not be the same as with lard. Up to you to decide.
As you can see from the enclosed, tasters was more than happy (despite initial skepticism) and asked for second helping.
A crescent-shaped pastry coming from Slovakia (Pressburg is German for Bratislava). There is a rich Slovak baking tradition in Vojvodina (northern Serbia) brought to us by the local Slovak minority. If you want to find out more about it, go to Vera's blog entries about Slovak cuisine - there are many tasty recipes to be found!
In the Balkans, we make all kinds of crescent-shaped pastry, it's a very popular kind of fingerfood. It can be savoury (filled with cheese or ham) or sweet (jam or nut cream) and most of the dough recipes are yeast-based which gives a very soft and fluffy pastry when fresh, but almost inedible on the next day (crumbly and dry). These crescents are just the opposite - due to high fat content in dough, they are biscuit-like and relatively dry when fresh but soft 24 hours later and can stay fresh for days. Still, there's yeast in there as well, so let's call it a crossover.
You'll need:
- 500 g flour (use type 500 / 550)
- 250 g butter or lard (I used lard)
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 egg
- 15 g fresh baker's yeast
- 100 ml warm milk
- 1/2 ts salt
For the filling:
- 250 g ground nuts
- 4 Tbsp sugar
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar
- 200 ml hot milk
icing sugar for dusting
Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees C, or 160 if you're using the fan. Be careful, because the crescents will burn on the outside and stay raw on the inside if the oven is too hot.
Melt the yeast in milk mixed with one Tbsp sugar. In a medium sized bowl, mix the other dough ingredients, adding the milk last. Knead into a smooth, firm dough and leave to rest while you're preparing the filling.
For the filling, bring the milk, vanilla and sugar to the boil, add nuts, take the pan off the stove and stir.
Separate the dough in two - form each part into a ball. Sprinkle your kneading surface with flour, flatten the ball into a patty and roll it out with a rolling pin to get a 40-cm disc. Cut with a pizza knife in 8 parts (see picture) and put a teaspoonful of filling on each part. Roll into a crescent and put on a tin lined with a sheet of greaseproof paper. Bake for 30 minutes and generously dust with icing sugar while they're still warm. Eat on the next day.
