Bicolored fasting croissants filled with walnut cream and Turkish delight

Bicolored fasting horns filled with walnut cream and rahat Who says that fasting days can't be sweet? Today I propose a recipe for simple and delicious bicolored horns, filled with a fragrant walnut cream and rahat. These horns are not only a perfect sweet treat for a snack but also a wonderful way to bring a little joy to each day! I will guide you step by step in preparing them, providing tricks and tips to achieve a perfect result. Total preparation time: 1 hour 30 minutes Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 25 minutes Number of servings: 16 horns Ingredients For the dough: - 250 ml sparkling water - 100 ml oil - 1 cube of yeast - 2 tablespoons of sugar - Grated zest of one lemon - 2 tablespoons of cocoa - A pinch of salt - Flour as needed (approximately 500 g) For the syrup: - 125 g sugar - 60 g water - Vanilla essence For the filling: - 1 cup of ground walnuts - Sugar to taste (approximately 2-3 tablespoons) - Rum essence - 1 teaspoon of cocoa - Warm water (approximately 5 tablespoons or enough to achieve a smooth and not too soft consistency) - Rahat (optional) - Powdered sugar or coconut for decoration Preparation 1. Preparing the dough: In a bowl, dissolve the yeast with the sugar, mixing well until you obtain a smooth paste. Add warm sparkling water, warm oil, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients. 2. Forming the dough: Gradually add flour, mixing with the whisk until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter. Pour half of the mixture into another bowl, adding 2-3 extra tablespoons to make a larger dough. In the first bowl, add flour and knead until you obtain a non-sticky and easy-to-roll dough. In the other bowl, add cocoa and flour until you get a workable dough again. 3. Proofing the dough: Place the two dough balls in a bowl, cover them with plastic wrap, and leave them in a draft-free place until they double in size (about 30-45 minutes). 4. Preparing the syrup: In a small pot, combine the sugar with the water and heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once it boils, turn off the heat and add the vanilla essence. Allow the syrup to cool completely. 5. The filling: In a small bowl, mix the ground walnuts, sugar, cocoa, rum essence, and enough warm water to obtain a not too soft but not hard mixture. If desired, add cubes of rahat for an extra flavor boost. 6. Forming the horns: When the dough has risen, divide each ball into two to get two white and two black balls. Roll out a black ball on the work surface, ensuring it is as round as possible. Then, roll out a slightly smaller white ball and place it on top of the black one. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the two layers together. 7. Cutting and rolling the horns: Using a knife, cut the dough into 8 triangles. At each tip of the triangle, place a teaspoon of the walnut filling, then roll from the base of the triangle to form a horn. Repeat the process for the other triangles. 8. Baking the horns: Place the horns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes or until golden. 9. Finishing: Once the horns are baked, let them cool for 5 minutes. Then, dip them in the cold syrup and place them on a platter. If desired, dust them with powdered sugar or coconut for a delightful appearance. Serving suggestions: These horns are perfect alongside a cup of coffee or a fragrant tea. You can also serve them as a delicious dessert at a festive meal or simply as a sweet snack during the day. Tips and variations: You can experiment with different fillings, such as fruit jams, chocolate, or even savory fillings for an unusual twist. If you want to make the horns healthier, you can use whole wheat flour instead of white flour. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use dry yeast? Yes, replace the cube of fresh yeast with 7g of dry yeast. - How can I store the horns? These horns store well in an airtight container for a few days but are most delicious when consumed fresh. Nutritional benefits: These horns are a good source of calories due to the walnut content, which is rich in healthy fats, proteins, and vitamins. By using quality ingredients like walnuts and cocoa, you will create a dessert that is not only tasty but also nutritious. I hope you enjoy these bicolored fasting horns! Each bite is an explosion of flavor and a sweet reminder of the moments spent in the kitchen, experimenting and creating. Enjoy!
