Instructions
Blackberry Mixture:
- Let the blackberries, sugar, and water come to a boil in a pot.
- When the mixture is boiling, add pectin – not all at once.
- Continue boiling until the mixture has thickened.
- Then let the mixture cool in the refrigerator.
- Heat milk and butter in a pot until the butter is melted.
- Crumble yeast into a bowl and pour the butter and milk mixture over the yeast.
- Stir it together.
- Then add sugar, cardamom, egg, and salt and stir it together.
- Add the wheat flour gradually while kneading the dough.
- The dough must not become too dry.
- Knead the dough until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) after 1 hour.
- Pour the dough onto a floured surface and roll it out until it's about 0.5 centimeters thick across the entire surface.
- My dough measured 55 x 68.
- Then spread the blackberry mixture in an even layer and distribute chopped chocolate over the dough.
- Fold 1/3 of the dough towards the center, then fold the other third over the first, so there are 3 layers.
- Roll the dough a bit more.
- Cut the dough into strips about 2-3 centimeters, depending on how large you want your twists to be.
- Hold one end of the dough between your index and middle fingers and twist the dough around your two fingers.
- Close the twist by taking the other end of the strip between your fingers over the twists, and pull your fingers toward you, so the dough closes.
- Place the twists on a baking sheet and let them rise covered for 40 minutes.
- Brush the twists with egg and optionally sprinkle with sugar.
- The twists should be baked for about 15 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
