Dilkush/Sweetened Stuffed Pastry

Image
2015 is going to an end,I wanted to end the Bake-A-Thon series and this year with a sweet note.So tried this simple Dilkush. Dilkush is a popular snack available in most of the bakeries and college canteen in South India.Two varieties are available in the bakery one is with the puff pastry and another one is made with the yeasted bread dough. Already I have shared a version of  Thengai Bun  so tried this one with the puff pastry.Here I made two dilkush,for the first one I rolled the dough slightly thinner,so the output was flaky.Whereas the other is comparatively thicker dough,so it got a nice crust.Off to the recipe........................                                                                                                                                                           Dilkush/Sweetned Stuffed Pastry                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 30 minutes

Today's recipe is a colorful Christmas bread which is popular in Norway and Denmark.The bread is scented with cardamom,originally green citrus peel is used along with cardamom.But here I used the raisins and tutty frutty.The bread came out so soft and love the texture of the bread.But the tutty frutty,stuffed is not uniformly mixed.So after stuffing it roll the dough smoothly for couple of minutes to get evenly distributed.Icing on the top of the bread can be optional.Off to the recipe........                                                                                                                                                                   Julekake                                                                         Basic Information    Recipe Source   My Diverse Kitchen    Preparation time 30 minutes    Proofing time 1 1/2 -2 hours     Cooking time 30-35 minutes    Makes 1          Ingredients
