Directions

  1. 1

    Warm the milk lukewarm. Put flour in a bowl. Press a depression in the middle. Crumble the yeast and add some milk. Mix with some flour and let it rise covered for about 15 minutes. Add the remaining milk, quark, 60 g sugar, fat, egg and salt and knead to a smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.

    Knead dough again and cut in half. Roll out a 40 x 24 cm rectangle from each piece. Cut out 4 triangles each (10 cm long on the short side and 25 cm on the long sides). Roll up into croissants from the short side. Place the croissants on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Mix the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of cream and spread the croissants. Sprinkle with sugar crystals. Leave to rise for another 10 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool down on a cake rack. Carefully wash the berries, drain well and sort them. Put some aside for decoration. Clean and chop the strawberries. Strip currants from the panicles.
