Unrolled buns - Danubio invertito - Otvorene buhtle



Great heat of these past days brought me so much exhaustion and lazyness. It interrupted every sign of thinking or writing, even taking new pictures were impossible. My eyelids were sweating, my palms were sweating, the camera got hot after only a while. So I stopped thinking and I decided to relax for a while, I took a break long all weekend. Nevertheless I couldn't find a peace of mind in anything, even baking didn't succeed during those days. I was continuously searching for some fresh place on the sofa, staying motionless and trying to stop the sweating, but all my trying were vain, there were no fresh place on the sofa. Air-conditioning is something I don't want in my house, I love to feel the air waving form room to room, I like the freshness and early morning breeze waking me up every morning. But in these last days even the breeze was hot and humid and the sun was shining so bright and it emanated unpleasant big heat from early morning hours.


The fruits I've bought some days before the big heat begins started to ripen to fast and some of apricots were already too soft to be eaten uncooked. My first plan was to bake an tarte tatin, but I couldn't use soft fruits for the tarte tatin, so I completely changed the kind of pastry I intended to bake. And again I've prepared my good old yeast dough, the one that never disappoints me. Adding some spices or changing the kind of flour is something I usually do to make the dough more tasty and more interesting. These buns are usually prepared filled with jam and baked in a shape of honeycombs. This is very traditional Croatian recipe that every good Croatian housewife prepare following her own recipe and every family has its own and the best recipe. We used to bake it very often in winter. It was my family confort food during cold and windy Sunday afternoons. Something predictable is so opposit to my way of cooking, right!? Therefor I've decided to leave my buns unrolled to remind me somehow of tarte tatin!
Eventually I turned on the oven, I couldn't avoid to bake my buns!


...my theory about turning on the oven during summertime is a bit weird. I'm not sure everybody agrees with it, but for me it's easier to turn on the oven then to stay hours near to the open fire of the burner. It produces less heat in the kitchen!
And I couldn't avoid to knead such a fluffy and soft dough, it was still missing in my raising dough collection and in my photo gallery!


UNROLLED BUNS

150 gr all-purpose flour
100 gr bread flour
130 gr milk
50 gr butter
2 egg yolks

2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons cane sugar
10 apricots
Warm up the oil, add sugar and let it melt completely. Stir the sugar until it becomes light golden brown, add apricots cut in small pieces and cook 20 minutes on low heat. The fruit preserve should be dense with some entire piece of apricots.

Almonds cut in leafs for decorating.


Dissolve the yeast and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar in little lukewarm milk and let it raise for 10 minutes.
Warm up the milk (don’t boil it) and dissolve the butter in it.
In one bowl put the flours, sugar, ground cardamom, egg yolks and the yeast and start to knead the dough with the mixer. Gradually add in the mixture milk with dissolved butter and continue to knead for about 10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and knead for another few minutes. Cover the bowl with the PVC wrap or the bowl cover and leave the dough to raise until it double the volume.
Roll the dough to 1 cm high rectangle and cut with biscuits cutter round shaped pieces of the dough having diameter of 7cm. Arrange the pieces of the dough in the baking tray covered with parchment. Let the dough raise for 10 minutes. Put some apricot compost in the middle of each piece of the dough, decorate with almonds bake it in preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes.

Gradualmente aggiungere all'impasto il latte con il burro sciolto e continuare ad impastare per 10 minuti. Alla fine aggiungere un pizzico di sale e impastare ancora per qualche minuto. Coprire la ciotola con la pellicola trasparente oppure con il coperchio della stessa ciotola e lasciare a lievitare fino al raddoppio del volume dell’impasto.
Stendere la pasta in un rettangolo spesso 1 cm e con il taglia biscotti sferici del diametro 7cm ritagliare dei cerchi di pasta. Sistemarli nella teglia rivestita con la carta forno e lasciare lievitare i panini di pasta per 10 minuti.
