Directions

1
Soak the cranberries in apple juice. Put the flour in a bowl and press a depression in the middle. Warm 250 ml milk lukewarm and crumble the yeast into it. Dissolve in it while stirring, pour into the hollow and mix with some flour. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes. Melt the fat.

Add sugar, vanillin sugar, 1 egg, salt and fat to the yeast dough and knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. At the end mix with your hands to a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise again for about 30 minutes in a warm place. Roast the walnuts in a pan without fat, take them out and chop them roughly. Drain the cranberries in a sieve. Separate 1 egg. Mix the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of milk and chill. Wash apples, grate dry and cut into small cubes. Mix apple cubes, cranberries, redcurrant jelly, honey, walnuts, egg white and liqueur. Roll out dough on a floured work surface in a rectangular shape (45 x 35 cm). Spread the cranberry mixture evenly on the dough and roll up from the long side.

Roll out dough on a floured work surface in a rectangular shape (45 x 35 cm). Spread the cranberry mixture evenly on the dough and roll up from the long side. Cut the roll in half lengthwise and carefully twist into a cord. Line a baking tray (39 x 32 cm) with baking paper and place the striezel on top. Let it rise again for about 10 minutes, then brush it with the egg yolk milk. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 35-40 minutes. Remove the Striezel from the oven and let it cool down. Cut into 25 slices and serve lukewarm or cold
