Ingredients

Servings: 12
  • 35 g Butter or margarine
  • 100 ml Milk
  • 1/2 cube (21 g) fresh yeast
  • 1 TEASPOON + 30 g sugar
  • 250 g Flour
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 1 glass (375 ml) Cherries
  • 125 g Nut Nougat Cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp Icing sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt the fat. Add 100 ml milk and warm it up lukewarm. Mix yeast, 1 tsp. sugar and 3 tbsp. of the milk mixture. Mix flour, salt and 30 g sugar in a bowl and press the middle of a depression. Pour yeast milk into the hollow, mix with some flour from the rim and cover with flour. Cover and leave to rise for about 15 minutes

  2. 2

    Add the remaining milk and 1 egg and knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes

  3. 3

    Place the cherries in a sieve and drain. Chop the cherries coarsely and drain them again well. Warm the nut cream slightly so that it becomes a little bit more liquid

  4. 4

    Roll out the dough thinly (25-30 cm Ø) on a well floured work surface. Spread the dough with nougat cream, leaving about 1 cm free at the edges. Spread cherries on top and cut the circle into 12 cake pieces. Roll up each cake piece from the edge to a croissant

  5. 5

    Spread the croissants on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper and bake in the preheated oven (electric range: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 15 minutes until golden brown. Take out and let cool down. Dust with icing sugar
