Ingredients

DOUGH

  • 500 gram Flour
  • 150 gram Butter room temperature, but not too soft
  • 3 gram Salt
  • 100 gram Cane Sugar
  • 50 gram Egg about 1 egg at room temperature
  • 2 gram Cardamom ground
  • 175 gram Milk
  • 75 gram Yeast

FILLING AND DECORATIONS

  • 100 gram Raisins about
  • 2 pcs. Egg lightly beaten
  • Sugar
  • 100 gram chopped almonds or nuts

REMONCE

  • 200 gram Cane Sugar
  • 50 gram Marzipan
  • 200 gram Unsalted butter room temperature
  • 50 gram Syrup high quality - preferably with a flavor, e.g., maple syrup

Instructions

Dough

  • Place flour, butter in small chunks, salt, brown sugar, egg, and cardamom in a bowl.
  • Warm the milk until it's lukewarm and dissolve the yeast in it.
  • Pour the lukewarm milk and yeast mixture into the bowl with the other ingredients and knead the dough thoroughly.
  • Add a little more flour if necessary.
  • Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise to double size in a warm place.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on the kitchen counter and shape the dough into a ball.
  • Let it rest for 3-4 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough - it should be about twice the length of the baking sheet and have a width of around 40 cm.

Remonce

  • Knead brown sugar and marzipan together.
  • Add the soft butter a little at a time and stir in the syrup.
  • The remonce is now ready to use.

Baking

  • Spread the remonce on the dough and sprinkle with raisins.
  • Cut the dough lengthwise so you get two long pieces, each 20 cm wide.
  • Fold the dough over the filling from each edge and press down well in the center with your fingers so it is closed around the filling.
  • Shape the dough into 2 kringler and place them on baking paper on one or two baking sheets - or cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.
  • Cover everything again with a damp cloth and let the kringler rise to double size at room temperature or a little warmer.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Brush the kringler with egg, sprinkle them with sugar, almonds, or nuts, and bake them for 15-20 minutes.
