INGREDIENTS:
• 440g flour;
• 240g milk;
• 5g dry yeast;
• 3 small eggs;
• 1 spoon sugar;
• 70g room temperature butter;
• 150g cheese ;
• 1 teaspoon salt;
• 50g cranberries;
+ for decoration: rosemary, cranberries, a cube of butter.
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
1. I mixed the flour, salt, yeast and sugar in a bowl.
2. In another bowl, I beat very well two small eggs at room temperature (they were around 60g both, so they are quite small) and then I mixed them with warm milk (be careful not to make it hot, it must be a bit warm).
3. I put the wet ingredients on top of the dry and mixed with a spoon until the dough started to form. At this point, I set aside the spoon and began kneading the dough by hand. I also started incorporating the room temperature butter which I added in 3 batches.
4. I kneaded until I had a slightly sticky dough. I covered it with food foil and left it to rise for an hour and a half.
5. I divided the dough into 11 balls: 10 balls of ~74g and the last ball of ~50g.
6. I flattened the balls, filled them with grated cheese and cranberries, and then sealed them up.
7. I placed the balls on the baking sheet in the shape of a fir tree(with a little space between them), and I put the smallest ball on top.
9. I covered them and left them to rise for another 30 minutes.
10. I greased them with egg and put the tray in the preheated oven at 180*C for ~40 minutes (the time may vary a little depending on the oven).
11. At the end, we smeared them with a cube of butter and decorated our fir tree with rosemary and cranberries.
Good appetite!
