These pistachio swirls are definitely an ideal tasty snack. A soft dough with a delicious, fragrant filling, crispy and creamy at the same time. You can prepare the swirls with all kinds of dried fruits or just mix a few together. The choice is yours. They taste best when freshly baked and, like all yeast products, should be eaten relatively quickly to maximize enjoyment. If stored in plastic containers with lids, they will keep for a few days.

30 g sugar
¼ tsp vanilla sugar
¼ cube yeast (approx. 10 g), crumbled
3 tbsp sunflower oil
1 ¼ dl milk

½ dl milk

¼ tsp vanilla sugar
To shape
a little  white flour
Glaze
100 g icing sugar
3 tbsp milk

How it's done

Dough

Mix the flour, salt, sugar, vanilla sugar and yeast in a bowl. Add the oil, milk and egg, mix and knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

Filling

Place the pistachios, milk, sugar and vanilla sugar in a food processor, blend until smooth.

To shape

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle (approx. 25 x 35 cm). Spread the filling on top, leaving a border of approx. 1 cm all the way around. Roll up the dough from the long edge. Without exerting pressure, cut it into approx. 12 slices using a bread knife, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, ensuring they are well spaced out, leave to rise at room temperature for another hour approximately.

To bake

Approx. 15 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove, allow to cool slightly.

Glaze

Place the icing sugar, milk and vanilla sugar in a small bowl, mix, spread over the swirls, sprinkle with pistachios, leave to dry.
