Today, I present you with a recipe for delicious snails made from yeast dough, filled with cheese and a vanilla pudding cream. These snails are perfect for breakfast, a sweet snack, or simply to delight your friends and family. A Brief Story about Snails Snails have a rich history, being a variant of traditional dishes that bring joy to festive meals. They are versatile and can be easily adapted based on available ingredients or personal preferences. In this recipe, we play with yeast dough and fill it with vanilla cream, bringing a touch of originality and flavor. Necessary Ingredients *For the dough:* - 450 g flour - 250 g quark cheese - 1 egg - 150 ml milk - 1 packet of dry yeast - 30 g butter - 3 tablespoons sugar - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - a pinch of salt - grated zest of one lemon *For the filling:* - 500 ml milk - 3-4 tablespoons sugar - 2 egg yolks - 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour - 1 vanilla essence - 2-3 tablespoons raisins Preparation Steps 1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour with the dry yeast and lemon zest. This mixture will give the dough a fresh aroma and pleasant taste. In another bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt, then add the sugar and vanilla sugar. Continue to incorporate the warm milk gradually, and finally, the melted and cooled butter. 2. Kneading the dough: Pour the liquid mixture over the flour and knead the dough well for 5-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and homogeneous. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy texture in the end. After kneading, cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rest in the fridge for 1.5 hours. 3. Preparing the pudding: While the dough is rising, you can prepare the vanilla pudding. Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla essence. Add the cornstarch or flour and gradually pour in the warm milk. Mix well, then pour the mixture into the saucepan with milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens. 4. Adding the raisins: Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the raisins. They will soften in the pudding, adding a sweet note and interesting texture. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap and let it cool. 5. Forming the snails: After the dough has risen, grease the countertop with a little oil and roll out the dough into a rectangular sheet about 0.5 cm thick. Spread the cooled pudding over the sheet, leaving one centimeter free at the edges. Carefully roll the dough, making sure not to push the pudding out. 6. Cutting and arranging: Using a string or knife, cut the roll into pieces of 2-3 cm and arrange them in muffin molds or a greased round baking dish. This is the perfect time to brush the tops with a beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of milk to achieve a golden and shiny crust. 7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees Celsius and bake the snails for 30 minutes or until they become golden brown. It is important not to open the oven door during baking to prevent steam from escaping and affecting the texture. 8. Serving: Once cooled, dust the snails with powdered sugar. They are delicious both warm and cold and can be served alongside a cup of coffee or aromatic tea. Useful Tips: - If you don't have quark cheese, you can use cottage cheese or ricotta, but make sure to drain them well. - For a quicker version, you can use instant pudding, which prepares in a few minutes. - You can replace the raisins with other dried fruits, such as cranberries or dried apricots, for a different flavor. Nutritional Benefits: These snails are a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, and calcium due to the cheese. Additionally, the raisins add fiber and antioxidants, making them a healthier choice for a sweet snack. Frequently Asked Questions: - Can I freeze the snails? Yes, you can freeze the snails after they have completely cooled. Make sure to place them in an airtight container. - Can I use other fillings? Absolutely! You can customize your snails with chocolate, jam, or fresh fruits. I conclude this recipe with a personal note: nothing compares to the smell of freshly baked bread or sweets filling the house. So gather your friends and family and enjoy these treats together! Enjoy your meal!
