Ingredients

  • 100 gram Butter
  • 25 gram Yeast 1/2 pack
  • 300 gram Water
  • 25 gram Sugar about 25 grams
  • 500 gram Wheat Flour about. Equivalent to 8 dl
  • Flour a little for the table

FYLD

  • 100 gram Dark chocolate or soft nougat
  • 1 pcs. Egg for brushing

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a saucepan. Let it cool a bit.
  • Crumble the yeast and dissolve it in a bit of the water in a large bowl.Stir with a wooden spoon until the yeast is dissolved.Add the rest of the water, melted butter, and sugar.
  • Stir in the wheat flour until the dough is firm enough to knead by hand (keep 1 dl of flour aside).
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.Add flour until it almost doesn't stick to the table anymore – it should be kneaded a minimum of 200 times.
  • Place the dough in a bowl and cover it with a clean tea towel.Let it rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Sprinkle flour on the table. Divide the dough into two equal parts.Roll them out into two circles with a diameter of approx. 30 cm. Cut each circle into 6 triangles with a knife, as if cutting a layer cake.
  • Place a piece of chocolate or soft nougat on each triangle and roll the dough around it.Start rolling from the wide edge towards the tip.
  • Place the horns with the seams down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Celsius (437 degrees Fahrenheit).Let the horns rise again for 30 minutes.
  • Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it with a fork.Brush the horns with the egg.
  • Place the baking sheet in the middle of the oven and bake for about 15 minutes.Take a horn out of the oven – use oven mitts.The horn is fully baked if it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • Let the horns cool on a wire rack.
