Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 650 g plain flour
  • 2 teaspoon dried fast-action yeast
  • 50 g sugar
  • 50 ml warm water
  • 50 ml sparkling water
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 100 g sour cream
  • 50 g sugar
  • 200 g butter, soften
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • ¼ cup cherry jam (or any other jam) (or any other jam)
  • 1 cup Turkish delight

Instructions

  • To make the pastry, pour the warm water in a cup or small jug, add the yeast, one teaspoon of sugar and one teaspoon of flour, and mix well.
  • Set aside for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
  • In a large bowl, sift the flour, and make a well in the middle.
  • Add the salt, yeast mixture, sparkling water, eggs, soften butter cut into cubes, sugar, sour cream and vinegar.
  • Knead into a dough, adding more flour if necessary until we get a dough that comes together nicely, and it's just slightly sticky, but can still be rolled without sticking to the work surface,
  • Cut the dough into half, and roll the first half with a rolling pin, then cut squares of approximately 2 inches each.
  • If you use Turkish delight, cut it into strips, then add it to each square, then bring two opposite corners together and wrap to have the shape of a bow tie (see photos).
  • If you use jam, add about half a teaspoon of jam into a strip, then fold.
  • Bake int he preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for about 30 minutes or until golden.
