I love red currant berries for their usefulness, bright color, pleasant taste and aroma. They help to decorate and harmoniously complement any baked goods. Yesterday I cooked puff bagels with red currants for my household. The result exceeded all expectations, and the baking sheet was empty in a couple of minutes. It's good that the camera is at hand in the kitchen and the result, like the process, I managed to shoot to illustrate the recipe. I am sharing a very simple and quick recipe for making baked goods in the oven with step-by-step photos taken.

So, we need:

- red currants - 75 grams;
- sugar - 1-2 tbsp. spoons;
- starch - 1 tbsp. spoon;
- puff pastry (ready-made) - 150 grams;
- icing sugar - to taste;
- vegetable oil (refined) - for lubricating the mold;
- premium wheat flour - for sprinkling the table.

How to make red currant puff pastry bagels

Sprinkle the finished puff pastry with premium wheat flour and put on the table. I take good quality dough that is sold in any store.

For the stuffing of bagels, take red currants, starch and granulated sugar. Currants can be used fresh or frozen. I have a second option. You do not need to defrost it in advance.

Mix berries with sugar and starch. The starch will allow the juice of the berries, which will stand out during cooking, to be stored inside the bagels.

Roll out the finished puff pastry into a thin round layer. Cut it as shown in the following photo.

From this amount of dough, you get eight small bagels. Put the filling on the wide end of the dough, 1-2 teaspoons each.

Roll up the bagels, starting at the wide edge. Fix the thin tip of the bagels so that they do not unfold.

Send the baking sheet with parchment or foil. I have foil, which I smeared with odorless vegetable oil. Place the bagels on a baking sheet.

Send the flaky bagels to the oven. Bake at 175 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. The baking time will depend on the size of the baked item and the characteristics of your particular oven.

They should be baked until light golden brown. Let the finished puff bagels cool slightly before removing them from the baking sheet. Then, you can transfer the pastries to a plate.

Sprinkle with icing sugar on top. Snow-covered air bagels with red currants will give pleasure.

Puff pastry rolls made from ready-made puff pastry with red currants just melt in your mouth. Berries give a pleasant sourness and vitamins for the body. The pastries are incredibly tasty, although they are easy and simple to prepare according to my recipe. Cook with love and delight yourself and your family with delicious and healthy homemade cakes!

Puff bagels (puff pastry) - secrets and tips from the best chefs

- Puff pastry bagels can be prepared with any filling: berries, chocolate, jam, nuts, raisins, candied fruits, etc .;

- It is better to immediately prepare a large amount of dough. Before freezing it, divide the dough into several lumps and place in bags;

- Flour for puff pastry must be of the highest grade.

Croissants or bagels are a fine traditional French breakfast, also popular outside of France. They are easy enough to prepare and you can always play with the fillings. The most convenient and quickest way to bake bagels is from ready-made puff pastry.

Here it is enough just to defrost the layers, roll them to the desired thickness, cut into pieces, stuff, twist and send them to the oven. But if you want a completely homemade treat, it is recommended to knead the dough yourself: it is not as difficult as it seems at first glance.

Which dough to choose? Rolls of puff yeast dough and rolls of puff unleavened dough are equally tasty and even look little different: they are equally airy, tender, light. However, yeast dough is more capricious, since it may not rise, and also does not suit every stomach, causing the fermentation process. Otherwise, the choice should be made based on taste. Moreover, the filling that you put in the baking does not depend at all on the type of dough.

Puff yeast dough is most often used in Austrian and French cuisine, it is the main croissant and is prepared in stages, including the stages of proofing, kneading and lamination. Each of them must be treated with attention.

Composition:

• Dry bakery yeast - 10 g
• Sugar - 30 g
• Salt - a pinch
• Chicken egg - 2 pieces
• Milk 3.2% fat - 80 ml
• Wheat flour - 250 g
• Butter 82.5% fat - 250 g

Preparation:

1. Leave the oil in the room to soften it; it must not be heated or melted. It is also recommended to bring the eggs to room temperature before starting to work with them.
2. Heat the milk in a water bath, add 1 tablespoon to it. sugar and pour in the yeast in a trickle, while stirring the liquid. Allow them to separate, cover the container and leave on a warm burner. Approximate time for dough is 15-20 minutes. It is important here that the yeast and milk are fresh, otherwise the dough will not rise afterwards.
3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and salt, gradually add the diced butter (150 g) and flour. Using a mixer at medium speed, bring the dough to a homogeneous consistency, then carefully, with teaspoons, add the dough into it, continuing to beat, but already at low speed. As soon as all the ingredients are dispersed, leave the dough aside, cover with a towel and forget about it for 1.5-2 hours, during which the container should be warm.
4. Now comes the lamination stage: you need to remove the dough from the bowl and break it into 3 equal parts. Do the same with the remaining (100 g) butter. A ball of dough needs to be rolled out into a cake, the thickness of which will be 1 cm, a piece of butter should be cut into thin layers (about 5-7 mm).
5. 2/3 of the flat cake must be paved with oil, then bend the free part to the center, covering exactly 1/3 of the entire space. Then cover it with the rest: you should get a rectangle 1/3 of the width of the former cake.

   

6. Walk along it with a rolling pin, returning to the same dimensions as you were: i.e. to a thickness of 1 cm. Wrap the resulting layer with foil, hold it in the freezer for 20-25 minutes, and then fold it in three again and roll it out. Put it back in the freezer and roll it out again. Repeat the freezing and rolling procedure up to 5 times. The same is done for the remaining pieces of dough and butter.
7. Lay the layer that will go into work on a board sprinkled with flour, and roll it out, reducing its thickness by 2 times. Cut it into several triangles, make a 0.5 cm incision at the base of each (clearly in the center), then twist it with a crescent moon and send it to a hot (200 degrees) oven until a golden brown crust appears. During this time (about 40 minutes), the oven door must not be opened.
   

If you decide to cook bagels from unleavened puff pastry, the proving stage is omitted, the set of ingredients will be different, but the lamination stage will be identical to the one given above. At the same time, professionals remind that you need to roll out such layers only in one direction: usually it is done along.

Croissants with condensed milk

The algorithm below is ideal for absolutely any puff pastry bagels with or without filling, but since this is an Austrian recipe, it is better to work with very liquid ingredients - for example, jam or condensed milk.



Composition:

• Puff pastry - 600 g
• Boiled condensed milk - 400 g
• Chicken egg - 2 pcs.
• Milk - 1 tablespoon

Preparation:

1. Lay out the thawed layer on a floured surface, roll it out so that the thickness decreases to 3-5 mm, no more. If you are working with yeast dough, you can make it rather thin: later it will rise and gain volume.
2. Use a sharp cold knife to divide the layer into equal rectangles: working in a zigzag from edge to edge, this can be done without "wasting" the dough. The value depends on the size of the product you want to get at the output. For condensed milk and jam, you can make small details.
3. Set the oven to preheat to 180 degrees. At this time, stepping back 0.5 cm from the base of the triangle, lay out the condensed milk: make sure that its volume is only 1/3 or less of the widest part of the bagel. Otherwise, it may leak out during baking.
4. Begin to twist the triangle, moving from the base to the top and gradually giving it a crescent shape. Place the shaped roll on the baking sheet, seam side down.
5. When the oven warms up (not earlier!), Put the stuffed products in it for 30 minutes. Whisk the eggs and milk in a small bowl while they are baking. After the specified time has elapsed, grease the bagels with this mixture and again send them to the oven for another 15-20 minutes, but at a temperature of 200 degrees.

It is recommended to cool the finished bagels to room temperature before serving. Professionals advise to supplement the baked goods with decor made of chocolate threads: for this, it is necessary to warm the broken chocolate with butter in a water bath, then pour the baked goods hot from a coffee spoon and allow to harden. In the same way, puff pastry bagels with jam are prepared.

Delicate pastries with apples and marmalade

For less liquid fillings, experts recommend using a non-yeast version of the dough. In the absence of time and / or desire to knead it yourself, you can purchase ready-made layers. For the specified amount of ingredients, 3 standard layers are required, which is equal to 500-500 g. Depending on the degree of cutting, 12-18 puff pastry rolls with marmalade and apples will be obtained.

Composition:

• Wheat flour - 400 g
• Butter - 300 g
• Water - 170 ml
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Apples - 400 g
• Brown sugar - 3 tablespoons
• Cinnamon - 1 tsp
• Fruit jelly - 100 g

Preparation:

• Pour the sifted flour into a bowl with a slide, put pieces of softened butter (200 g) on ​​top. Mix them with your hands, add sugar, salt and water. Knead a smooth ball, leave to rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Put the dough on a floured surface, roll it out to a thickness of 1.5 cm, spread the layers of the remaining butter on top, so that they occupy only 2/3 of the area. Cover with the free edges of the dough, roll out a rectangle with a rolling pin. Fold to center 2 times, roll again. And fold and roll one last time to the original (1.5 cm) thickness.
• Chill the layer in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours, during which you need to make the filling. Peel and chop apples, put in a frying pan, warm. Add brown sugar, simmer over low heat, covered for 30-40 minutes, turning into a uniform mass. At the end, add the jam and another 2-3 minutes. darken.
• Place the chilled dough on a board, cut into triangles (do not roll out so as not to become too thin). Put the filling in the center of each, closer to the base, and then twist the triangle in a semicircle.

Bake in a hot (180 degrees) oven for 45-50 minutes, monitoring the surface condition: as soon as it becomes dark, turn off the oven and leave the baking in it for another 5-10 minutes.

According to the given recipe, you can also bake puff pastry bagels with jam, chocolate, custard and even savory fillings: for example, cheese. The latter is recommended to be mixed with sour cream so that it remains tender.
