- INGREDIENTS :
-
- 3 ½ cups wheat flour
- 15 gr. yeast
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 50 gr. margarine
- 1 egg
- 1 yolk
FILLING:
- 1 cup almonds or Caju nuts
- ½ cup Chia seeds
- ½ cup sugar
- 1/3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon grinded lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 teaspoons margarine
- In a food processor or blender, place the nuts or almonds; reserve a handful and the Chia seeds. Grind until smooth, transfer to a pan and add the rest of the stuffing ingredients; mix with a wooden spoon. Cook at medium/low heat for about 10 minutes. Let cool and set aside.
In a separate pan, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water, add milk, sugar, salt, egg and melted margarine. Blend thoroughly and slowly add the flour. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, form into a roll and place in a buttered pan. Cover with a clean cloth. Let stand at a warm temperature until it doubles its size, about 1 1/2 h.
Pre-heat oven at medium heat.
Spread dough with a kneading roll to a 25 x 40 cm rectangle. Place on oiled oven tray. Distribute the filling in the center of the rectangle. Add the remaining nuts or almonds. Fold the dough, covering all the filling. Bake for approximately 40 minutes.
