🧂 食材
- 4 cups All-purpose flour(divided)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold(cut into small pieces)
- 1 cup Full-fat plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Egg(beaten, for egg wash)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in 3/4 cup of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the yogurt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms. Do not overmix. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Make the filling: In a dry skillet over low heat, toast 1 cup of flour until lightly golden brown, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool. In a bowl, combine the toasted flour, sugar, and the remaining 1/4 cup of butter (softened), and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until a crumbly paste forms.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. Divide the dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread half of the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Roll up tightly like a jelly roll. Repeat with the second portion of dough and remaining filling.

Cut the rolls into 1-inch thick slices. Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
