Cooking method

I stumbled upon him by accident. I am making a selection of recipes for the New Year's table. On the chef ru website, I see a picture of a cookie of crazy beauty in the form of a beautiful flower with a filling inside. Yes, I flew to cook it. Now I present it to your court. I changed the recipe, since my flour is always different from Russian. In addition, the nuts in the filling are easier for me. I fried peanuts and seeds in advance in equal proportions ... I really like the taste of this mixture. Even more than almonds and walnuts. With such a filling, plus boiled condensed milk or just crumbled milk toffee, I often bake Sanadorin fenders. In addition, according to the law of meanness, there was no culinary fat in the store. But it's always better to use it for puff pastry. Prescription sugar went only to the filling and very little. I like sweets and mine too. Therefore, I have more of it.
I must say right away that the cooking process only seems complicated. Moreover, a beautifully wrapped flower will be a wonderful gift.
To make cookies, we need two types of dough. Pink and white. Pink color can be achieved with the help of artificial dyes (identical to natural gee-gee, but they will be brighter), or with beet or cherry juice. I really love colored dough. I have colored dough recipes for dumplings, dumplings and noodles. From experience, I realized that dyeing the dough is better not only with juice, but also with pulp. Therefore, I defrosted the cherries and chopped them with a blender in mashed potatoes. Let's go straight to the white dough. Cooking in a food processor with a hook attachment. Knead flour and margarine. I made a crumb, although the recipe says about sticky dough. Therefore, I added another 1-1.5 tbsp. l. vegetable oil. Collected in a bun and twisted into a bag ... Now let's get down to pink. Again flour, vanillin, sugar, margarine, cherry puree. This time, the dough immediately gathered into a beautiful soft bun. I also packed it in a bag. While the dough was resting for about 15 minutes, I made the filling. Place peanuts with seeds, sugar in a blender. Beat until crumbled for 5-10 seconds. Add egg white and beat again for another 5 seconds. The filling is ready.
Now let's get back to the test. It has already become plastic. I rolled it into koloboks ... Dust the table with flour. It must be divided into equal balls in the same quantity. I have no scales. So I roll out two sausages of the same length ... But my pink is thicker, and white is thinner. Putting the sausages alongside, I cut both sausages with a knife. Thus, there are two rows of pieces. 13 smaller whites and 13 larger pinks ... Dust them with flour. I turn each piece into a ball. Always cover the blanks with foil !!!! I flatten the red ball and put a white ball inside ... I stretch the edges of the red and collect over the white. White is inside. Then I dust it with flour again and roll it out with a rolling pin, also sprinkled with flour, into an oval cake. For convenience, I flatten the ball with my hand and put a rolling pin in the middle ... I roll forward and back from the middle trying to roll only once. It turns out very quickly and the layering is not disturbed. I roll up the cake ... Rolls also go under the film and rest for 20 minutes. Now the procedure must be repeated! ATTENTION! I answer immediately to your question! WHY are such dances with tambourines? Reusable color dough sheeting provides an incredible color flakiness. It is precisely his beauty.
So, let's continue. I cut each roll into two parts (it turned out 26 halves), as they seemed to me large. We put half of the roll perpendicular to ourselves. Flatten with your fingers and again roll it with a rolling pin to an oval cake one time from the middle to the edges up, down ... Again she rolled the roll and again for 20 minutes under the film.
After the allotted time, turn on the oven and heat up to 200 degrees. Roll out the rolls again into a round cake using the same method from the middle up, down and to the edges ... By this time, the dough is already dry enough, so DON'T NEED TO SPRAY FLOUR... We need its stickiness. Again, try to roll the rolling pin only once in one direction. It is better to roll out thinner. Put the resulting cakes on top of each other in pairs ... Put a teaspoon of filling in the middle and collect the edges up ... Gently form a ball by squeezing the dough with our hands ... The old one does not roll, but squeezes. And turn it over with the seam down. With a dry knife, make a cross-shaped incision ... Cover the baking sheet with paper. We coat well with vegetable oil. We put our lotuses next to each other ... I got 13 pieces. About the size of a matchbox. Oh, it's a pity that I don't have scales. Reduce the heat to 200 and bake the cookies for 40 minutes. Cooked cookies are cooled on a wire rack.

Note

Many thanks to the person from whom I saw these cookies, namely the girl under the nickname Nikolaeva from the cook ru.
Conclusions:
- cherry gives sourness.
- love it sweeter - add more sugar. my honey dripped into the center of the flower.
- the dough turns out to be a puff-shortbread. Bake well and roll out thinner, as the flower bases are quite plump.
- the color becomes purple. want brightness - take a dye.
- in the source, the flower is not cut crosswise, but three times. it turns out six petals, which open more beautifully. I didn’t look. in the middle there will be a good drop of honey in freshly baked ones.

From life: I watch this figure, I follow it day and night. And I will turn away a little and ~~get drunk~~ eat up sweet and starchy foods ...
Cook with love and humor!
