Star Bread from TurkuazKitchenDaily on Instagram


1 tbsp yeast (11g)

1/4 cup warm water

3 tbsp granulated sugar

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1 tbsp Vanilla

4 cups flour 

Pinch of salt

Half cup butter

For egg wash

1 egg

1 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp oil

For filling!

Hazelnut chocolate cream or you can

use any type of jam or cinnamon sugar



In a bowl, whisk together the warm

water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar and

let it rest until fluffy for 5-7 min.

In a large bowl (preferably of a stand

mixer), put flour, milk, remaining sugar,

salt, eggs, vanilla, and yeast.

Mix them until combined for about 3-4

minutes. Then, cover it with a cloth or

plastic wrap and let it rest at room

temperature for 10-12 minutes.

After that, knead the dough by stand

mixer or hand. Add room temperature

butter to the dough and continue to

knead for 12-15 minutes.

Cover it with a plastic wrap and keep it

for around 1-2 hour until doubled in

size.


Punch down the ready dough and

place the dough on a floured counter.

Divide the dough eight equal pieces

and roll each piece into a ball.Cover

the ball with plactic wrap and let rest

10-15 min. Roll each ball out into a thin

10 circle and place the circle of

parchment paper. Top with chocolate

cream then layer the other three

circles and filling on top. (leaving the

top circle bare.)

Put a 2 or 3 inch bowl in the center

and Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut

the circle 16 equal strips. (just like reel

video)

Using two hands pick up two strips

and twist them from each other two or

three times then press the two end

together filmly. Repeat that you end up

with eight of strips.

Transfer the star bread to a baking tray

and cover with plastic wrap and let it

rest 30 min.

Preheat the oven 380 F.

and pour a little bit granuleted sugar

on top.
