To prepare a fragrant and soft roll with custard and cherries, you will need the following ingredients:
- milk – 1 l;
- fresh yeast – 50 g;
- wheat flour – 7 cups;
- turmeric – 1 tsp;
- sugar – 4 cups;
- vanillin – 1 tsp;
- butter – 20 g;
- water – 1 cup;
- canned cherries – 500 g;
- chicken egg – 1 piece;
- sunflower oil – 3 tbsp.
Preparation
- Start by preparing the custard. In a deep pot, combine 5 tbsp. flour, 1 cup of sugar, 0.5 tsp. of vanillin and turmeric. In this case, turmeric acts as a coloring agent. Thanks to this ingredient, your roll will look very beautiful when sliced.
- Mix the dry components with a spoon, then pour in the milk. However, set aside 1 cup of milk for making the yeast dough. To prevent lumps from forming in the resulting mixture, slightly whisk it with a mixer at low speed.
- Place the mixture on low heat and cook until it thickens. During this process, the contents of the pot need to be stirred constantly, otherwise the custard not only burns but also forms lumps. Add the butter to the thickened custard, which will give it shine and a richer flavor.
- The thick custard for the roll is ready. Set it aside to cool while you prepare the fluffy yeast dough.
- For the yeast dough in a separate deep bowl, combine the yeast, 5 tbsp. flour and 5 tbsp. sugar.
- Slightly heat a cup of water in the microwave, then add the water to the bowl with the ingredients. Make sure the water is only slightly warm. If you overheat it, the yeast will not dissolve. Mix the ingredients with a spoon and wait for the fresh yeast to fully dissolve in the warm water.
- Cover the resulting mixture with a clean terry towel and place it in a warm spot. When it froths, add the pre-warmed cup of milk, a cup of sugar, the remaining vanillin and flour.
- With clean hands, knead the elastic and soft yeast dough. To ensure that the pastry is tender and fluffy, you need to wait for the dough to rise, then knead it again. This action needs to be performed at least 2 times. Only then can you start forming the roll.
- With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a neat rectangular sheet. It’s best to do this on a clean kitchen table. To prevent the dough from sticking to the surface, lightly sprinkle it with wheat flour.
- On the rolled-out sheet of dough, spread the yellow custard. Smooth it out carefully with a spoon, then place the cherries over the layer of custard. It’s preferable for the cherries to be pitted. If you are a big fan of sweets, you can sprinkle the layer of cherries with the remaining sugar.
- Grease a baking sheet with oil using a silicone brush. Carefully roll the sheet of dough with the filling into a roll. Seal the edges of the roll tightly, then twist the roll into a small ring. Place the prepared roll on the baking sheet. Crack the chicken egg into a small but deep bowl and whisk it with a fork. Generously brush the roll with the beaten egg using the brush.
- Bake the product at 180 degrees for at least 30 minutes. When the roll turns golden brown, take it out of the oven and let it cool down a bit. The pastry turns out very tender, so you won’t be able to transfer it to a plate right away.
- Slice the slightly cooled cherry roll with custard into small pieces using a sharp knife, place them on a wide dish, and you can serve them to guests. This pastry is served only warm. Before serving, you can decorate the slices with sweet whipped cream.
Cherry roll with custard, made according to the specified recipe, turns out soft and very tasty. It pairs wonderfully with almost all beverages, but its flavor seems more intense when consumed with juice. Bon appétit!
