They are a perfect dessert for any occasion, as well as for moments when you want to treat yourself to something delicious. Moreover, they are just as good the next day! Your basic ingredients *For the dough:* - 1 kg flour - 500 ml milk (slightly warm) - 4 egg yolks - 100 ml oil - 50 g butter or margarine (melted) - 50 g fresh yeast - 120 g sugar - Grated zest of one orange - A pinch of salt *For the filling:* - 1 kg cow cheese (preferably unsalted) - 2 eggs - 4 tablespoons semolina - 1 essence of rum (for a flavorful taste) - 100 g raisins - 5-6 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste) - 2 egg yolks + 2 tablespoons milk (for brushing on top) - Powdered sugar (for decoration) Step by step: Preparing the dough 1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure you have a clean and well-organized workspace where you will prepare the dough. 2. Flour and yeast: In a large bowl, sift the flour. In another container, gently heat the milk (do not boil it). Add the fresh yeast to the warm milk, along with the sugar, and mix until completely dissolved. 3. Mixing the ingredients: Pour the milk mixture over the flour. Add the oil, melted butter, egg yolks, a pinch of salt, and the grated orange zest. Start mixing with a wooden spoon or with your hands until you obtain a homogeneous dough. 4. Kneading the dough: Knead the dough with your hands for 10 minutes. It should be non-sticky and firmer, so it can be rolled out with a rolling pin. If you feel it sticking, add a little more flour. 5. Letting the dough rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. A good option is the microwave, without turning it on, just to create a warm environment. Step by step: Preparing the filling 6. Filling composition: In another bowl, grate the cheese. Mix the cheese with the eggs, semolina, sugar, and rum essence. Add the raisins and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. If the cheese is too salty, adjust the sugar to balance the taste. Step by step: Assembling the pastries 7. Preparing to shape: After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface. Tear off a part of the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin sheet. 8. Cutting and filling: Cut the sheet into squares of approximately 10x10 cm. In the center of each square, place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture. Then, bring the corners diagonally together, forming a triangle, and bring the edges to the center to seal the filling. 9. Placing on the tray: Place the pastries on a tray lined with baking paper. Make sure to leave a little space between them, as they will rise in the oven. 10. Brushing with egg: Mix the two egg yolks with the two tablespoons of milk and brush the pastries with this mixture to achieve a golden and appetizing crust. 11. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the pastries for 30 minutes or until they turn golden. Step by step: Serving and storing 12. Decorating: Once the pastries are baked, let them cool slightly. You can dust them with powdered sugar, adding an extra touch of sweetness. 13. Serving suggestion: These poale-n brau are delicious both warm and cold. They can be served alongside a cup of warm milk or tea, offering a perfect combination of flavors and textures. Tips and useful advice - Flour: Choose a good quality flour for a more elastic dough. Type 000 or 650 flour is ideal. - Cheese: If you don’t have telemea, you can use cottage cheese or ricotta, but make sure it is not too wet. - Vegan option: You can replace the butter and eggs with plant-based alternatives to create a vegan version of this recipe. - Extra care: If you have time, you can let the dough rise a second time for an even fluffier result. Nutritional benefits These pastries are a good source of protein due to the cheese and eggs. The wheat in the flour provides necessary carbohydrates for energy, while the raisins add a boost of vitamins and minerals. However, moderation is essential due to the sugar and fat content. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use other types of cheese? Yes, you can use goat cheese or cottage cheese, but adjust the sugar amount. 2. Can they be frozen? Yes, these pastries can be frozen. Make sure to let them cool completely before placing them in freezer bags. 3. What is the best way to store them? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness. Indulge in these wonderful poale-n brau and bring a touch of tradition to your kitchen. Whether you prepare them for a special occasion or simply for a personal treat, these cheese pastries will not disappoint!
