Necessary ingredients
For the dough:
- 400 g all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cube of fresh yeast (about 25 g)
- 100 g sugar (suggestion: brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
- 100 ml warm milk
- 50 g butter at room temperature
For the filling:
- 1.5 kg apples (choose sweet and juicy apples, such as golden or fuji)
- Sugar and cinnamon to taste (suggestion: add some nuts or raisins for extra texture)
For brushing:
- 1 egg
- 100 g melted butter (or oil) for greasing the pan
Step by step
1. Activating the yeast
Start by mashing the yeast together with a teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl. Add 2-3 tablespoons of warm water and mix until you obtain a liquid mixture. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it sit in a warm place for about 10 minutes, until the yeast becomes frothy and doubles in volume. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy dough.
2. Preparing the dough
Sift the flour into a large bowl, creating a small “peak” in the middle. Add the risen yeast and sprinkle a little flour on top. This helps maintain moisture in a balanced way. Then add the sugar and eggs. Start kneading gently, gradually adding the warm milk. When the dough becomes sticky, incorporate the softened butter. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
3. Rising the dough
Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it sit in a warm place, away from drafts, for about 1 hour or until it doubles in volume. This is a crucial part of the process, as it will determine the final texture of the rolls.
4. Preparing the filling
Meanwhile, peel and grate the apples. Place them in a strainer to remove excess juice, so the rolls don’t become too wet during baking. This step will ensure a consistent and tasty filling.
5. Shaping the rolls
After the dough has risen, divide it into four equal parts. Roll each piece into a thin sheet. On each sheet, evenly place the grated apples, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon to taste. Carefully roll up the dough, making sure to pinch the edges to seal the filling. Tuck the ends of the rolls to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
6. Preparing for baking
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between them to allow for expansion. In a small bowl, beat an egg and combine it with 2-3 tablespoons of yogurt. Brush the rolls with this mixture to achieve a golden and appetizing crust.
7. Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes or until they become golden and fluffy. In the meantime, get ready to enjoy the enticing aroma that will fill your home!
8. Finishing
After the rolls have cooled slightly, dust them with vanilla sugar for a special appearance and an extra touch of sweetness.
Serving suggestions
These apple rolls are excellent served warm, alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of aromatic tea. They can also be garnished with chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an added touch of refinement.
Tips and variations
- Experiment with different types of apples to achieve various flavors.
- Add raisins or walnuts to the filling for an interesting texture.
- If you want to make the rolls healthier, replace some of the sugar with honey or maple syrup.
Nutritional information
