To prepare these delicious blueberry jam baskets, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need flour, a pinch of salt, sugar, lemon zest, one egg, butter, yeast, and milk. These ingredients combine to form a fluffy and tasty dough, perfect for the jam filling.
In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar, and lemon zest. The lemon zest will provide a fresh aroma that will blend beautifully with the sweetness of the jam. Mix the dry ingredients with a spatula or a wooden spoon until well combined. Then, crack the egg in the middle of the mixture and gently mix it in so that it is evenly incorporated.
In another container, microwave the butter for a few seconds until it becomes soft but not completely melted. Add the melted butter to the flour and egg mixture, stirring continuously. In a small glass, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk, making sure the milk is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast. Once the yeast is completely dissolved, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix everything well. You should get a uniform dough that does not stick to your hands.
The next step is to knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. Once finished, place it in a bowl covered with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours or until it doubles in volume.
After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and place the dough on it. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a thin sheet about 5 mm thick. With the help of a knife or a cutter, cut the dough into squares. Make sure the edges remain clean, as these will be used to form the baskets.
In the middle of each square, place a teaspoon of blueberry jam. This will add a delicious flavor and a pleasant sweetness. Then, take one square and pinch two opposite corners together, joining them in the middle, and then repeat with the other two corners to form a cute basket.
Arrange the baskets on the baking tray, making sure to leave a little space between them so they can rise. Use the leftover dough by kneading it and rolling it out again to create more baskets. When you are done, put the tray in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and bake until the baskets turn golden and crispy.
After baking, let them cool slightly before enjoying. These blueberry jam baskets are perfect for a delicious breakfast or a sweet snack during the day. Enjoy!
