- Preparation: 75 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (146 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, nut
Ingredients
- 60 g Flour, all-purpose
- 25 g Milk, whole
- 12 g Butter, unsalted
- 20 g Sugar
- 12 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
- 0.3 g Salt
- 15 g Walnuts
- 0.5 g Cinnamon
Method
- Warm the milk, dissolve the yeast and half the sugar in it, and let stand 10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix in the flour, salt, melted butter and egg to a soft dough; knead for 8 minutes, then cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Roll the dough into a long thin strip and wind it around a wooden spit or a foil-wrapped rolling pin in a spiral, slightly overlapping.
- Roast over hot charcoal or bake at 200 C (400 F), turning constantly, for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown all over.
- While still warm, roll the trdelník in the remaining sugar mixed with the ground walnuts and cinnamon.
- Slide it off the spit and let cool slightly before serving; it is traditionally eaten warm, torn into a spiral of flaky layers.
