Dessert - Dessert pernuțe with strawberries and walnuts by Iustina L. - Recipia

Dessert pernuțe with strawberries and walnuts (small stuffed yeast buns) only turn out well if the butter in the dough stays cold until you cut it, so work quickly on the floured table. The yeast dough is folded over strawberry jam mixed with ground walnuts, and after baking the pernuțe are golden and hold well in the hand. I eat them warm, while the filling is still soft. Preparation: 35 minutes. Cooking: 25 minutes. Total time: 60 minutes. Servings: 8. About 546 kcal and 10 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 25 g fresh yeast
  • 300 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of vinegar
  • 50 g Rama Maestro margarine (72% fat)
  • 500 g flour

For wrapping

  • 200 g butter or margarine

For the filling

  • 150 g strawberry jam or strawberry spread
  • 80 g walnuts
  • 1 egg (for brushing)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven. 2. Walnuts (80 g) are toasted in the oven for 5 minutes, then ground. 3. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast (25 g) in lukewarm water (300 ml) with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add the egg, vinegar (1 teaspoon), margarine (50 g), salt (2 teaspoons) and flour (500 g), until you get a soft dough. 4. Cut the dough in half, then in half again. Work the pieces one at a time, smaller, so they don't warm up on the table. 5. Roll the first quarter out on the floured table into a thicker sheet. Place 50 g of cold butter, sliced, on the sheet, then cut it into larger squares or rectangles. 6. On one half of each square, put the strawberry jam (150 g) mixed with the ground walnuts. Score the other half with a knife. Fold it over and it looks like a pernuță. 7. Place the pernuțe on a tray lined with baking paper and brush them with the beaten egg. 8. Bake on medium heat for 5 minutes, then on low heat for another 15 minutes, until golden. When they puff up, you can see the filling.

Notes

Butter and margarine can be swapped for each other, in the same amount. The pernuțe contain gluten, eggs and nuts, and after baking they keep in metal tins for up to 3 days. They go well with a morning coffee. If the butter softens while you work, put the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes before folding it. Very runny jam should drain a little beforehand, otherwise the filling runs onto the tray.

Frequently asked questions

What if the dough sticks to the table?

Sprinkle a little flour on the table, one spoon is enough, because more makes the pernuțe dry.

Can I use plum jam instead of strawberry jam?

Yes, 150 g plum jam can be used in the same amount, but it is thicker and spreads harder on the dough.

Can I use hazelnuts instead of walnuts?

Yes, 80 g hazelnuts toasted in the oven and ground can replace the walnuts, in the same amount.
