Why Add Cardamom?

    Raspberry rolls, mascarpone and cardamom

    Ingredients
    12 units

    • ½ cup of warm milk

    • 2 teaspoons of dried bread yeast or 20gr fresh yeast

    • 1 tablespoon of yellow sugar or honey

    • 1 beaten egg

    • 2 cups of flour without yeast (you can use mirror)

    • 2 tablespoons of yellow sugar or honey

    • 2 teaspoons of cardamom

    • 60 gr of unsalted butter to the pieces, at room temperature

    Filling

    • 100 gr of raspberries, fresh or frozen
    • 2 tablespoon of yellow sugar, extra
    • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
    • 1 tablespoon of vanilla
    • 150 gr of mascarpone

    To brush

    • 1 egg yolk

    • 1 tablespoon of milk

    Preparation

    1. Mix milk, yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey in a bowl. Let stand in a hot place for 5 minutes or until the mixture is foamy. Add the egg and beat to mix.

    2. In a bowl, put the flour, sugar and cardamom. Add the yeast mixture and beat until incorporated. Add the butter and beat again until you get a soft pasta that does not paste it to the bowl - you may have to add some more flour (I added almost 1 cup). Cover the bowl with a kitchen cloth and let it rise for 40 minutes or until it doubles in size.

    3. Heat the oven at 180ºC. Line a bake board with parchment paper.

    4. Turn the dough on a slightly sprinkled work surface with flour. Knead for 3 to 5 minutes or until soft and elastic. Use a roll of flour sprinkled to extend the dough to obtain a rectangle approximately 30 by 40 cm. Fold the shorter part close to it over the middle of the dough. Fold the opposite side to close. Return the dough on a rectangle of 30 by 40 cm. Repeat the folding and stretching process. Let stand while making the filling.

    5. To make the filling mix all the ingredients in a bowl and crush with a fork. Mix well. Spread the raspberry mixture over the dough.

    6. Starting with the longest part near it, wrap the dough to form a trunk. Width cut into 6 or 12 slices.

    7. Arrange the slices, side by side, with the cut part facing up. Mix egg yolk with milk in a bowl. Brush over the rolled up. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Serve hot.
