👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   In a small bowl, crumble fresh yeast and dissolve it in lukewarm milk with a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure milk is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, egg yolks, softened butter, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture.

   💡 プロのコツ: Using softened butter makes it easier to incorporate into the dough.
3. 3

   Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10-15 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

   💡 プロのコツ: A warm oven (turned off) is a good place for dough to rise.
4. 4

   While the dough rises, prepare the coating by mixing sugar, ground walnuts, and cinnamon in a shallow dish.

   💡 プロのコツ: You can toast the walnuts lightly before grinding for extra flavor.
5. 5

   Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 50-60 cm long.

6. 6

   Wrap each dough rope spirally around a trdelník mold or a heatproof cylindrical object (like a metal rod or a thick wooden dowel). Press the ends together to secure.

   💡 プロのコツ: If you don't have a mold, you can use greased metal cans or even carefully shape around a sturdy stick.
7. 7

   Brush the dough-wrapped molds with melted butter. Place them over a grill, open fire, or in a preheated oven (around 180°C/350°F) and cook, turning frequently, for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

   💡 プロのコツ: Continuous turning is key to even cooking and preventing burning.
8. 8

   Immediately after removing from heat, brush the hot trdelník with more melted butter and roll it in the sugar-walnut mixture until evenly coated.

   💡 プロのコツ: Coating while hot helps the mixture adhere better.
9. 9

   Let cool slightly before serving. Trdelník is best enjoyed warm.
