Method
- Yeast dough
Mix all ingredients on low speed for about 6 minutes and on high speed for about 5 minutes. Dough temperature: about 26°C. Bulk fermentation: 15 minutes.
- Yeast dough
Roll the dough out into a sheet 30 cm wide and about 1 cm thick. Cut the dough into 34 strips about 1.2 cm wide and roll them into figure-eights.
- Egg wash
Combine the eggs with the water and brush the surface of the pastries (using a pastry brush). Proof for about 25 minutes.
- Cheese filling
Pipe ZEELAsoftSER onto the pastries (into one eye of the figure-eight, using a piping bag with a decorative nozzle, about 30 g per piece).
- Poppy seed filling
Pour warm water (about 50°C) over the ground poppy seed and mix. Melt the margarine in a microwave. Mix all ingredients on low speed until combined (using a flat beater). Leave the mass to stand for about 15 minutes.
- Poppy seed filling
Deposit the poppy seed filling onto the pastries (into the second eye of the figure-eight, about 35 g per piece, using a piping bag with a fluted nozzle). Proof for about 35 minutes.
Baking: bake at 235°C (top) and 220°C (bottom) for about 10 minutes.
- Decoration
Decorate as desired. Heat the Paletta Neutral Gel to about 90°C and cover the surface of the pastries with a thin layer of gel (using a brush or a pastry gel applicator).
