How to cook deliciously - Lenten buns with apple and lemon
1. Stage
Pour warm water into a bowl, add the yeast and sugar, stir until completely dissolved. Place in a warm place until frothy.
2. Stage
Pour salt and vegetable oil into the yeast mixture. Gradually add 1 cup of sifted flour and stir with a spoon. Then gradually pour in the remaining flour and knead the dough with your hands. The dough should be smooth and moist, but not sticky. If the dough sticks, add more flour and knead to the correct consistency. Cover the dough with a napkin and leave to rise in a warm place. When the dough has increased by 1.5 times, knead well again, again cover with a napkin and leave until the second approach.
3. Stage
While our dough is rising, let's make the filling. Wash the lemons and boil them in plenty of water for about 10~15 minutes. Pour cold water over the lemons and leave to cool. Then cut each one in half, remove the pips and squeeze out the juice (we need it for the glaze).
4. Stage
Grind the peels of lemons on a mincer through a fine grinder, pre-press them well so that there is no excess liquid.
5. Stage
Wash the apples, remove the core and grate them on a coarse grater. Do not mince the apples through a meat grinder, otherwise you will get a watery pulp, which will not allow the dough to bake properly. Mix with the lemon peels and sugar (adjust the sugar to taste, depending on the sweetness of the apples). Add the cinnamon and raisins.
6. Stage
Roll out the dough into a rectangle about half a centimeter thick and place the filling in a thin layer.
7. Stage
Roll up into a roll, using a sharp knife to place into slices 3-4 centimeters thick.
8. Stage
Lubricate the form abundantly with vegetable oil. Dip the walls of each slice in oil and place it cut side up.
9. Stage
Place in a warm place for the dough to rise and turn on the oven at 200 *C.
10. Stage
Bake for about 40 minutes, referring to your oven. In the meantime, make the syrup. In a small bowl, bring 4 tsp. lemon juice to a boil with 4 tsp. brown sugar and, stirring, cook until the sugar is dissolved.
11. Stage
Take the ready buns out of the oven and immediately smear the syrup, most conveniently with a silicone brush. The aroma is incredible! Enjoy!
