Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 600 g flour
  • 250 ml milk
  • 80 g melted butter
  • 30 g fresh yeast 10 grams dry
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 Tb sugar
  • Oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sugar
  • 5-8 hard seltzer or tall skinny beer cans

Instructions
 

  • These days, fresh yeast is hard to find so don’t stress about it. The dry yeast will work fine.
  • Pour milk in a pot and add 2 TB sugar.
  • Heat the milk to about 95 degrees F. Do not boil!
  • Add yeast and let sit for 10 min.
  • Add flour salt eggs and melted butter.
  • Mix dough by hand or with mixer. Sprinkle with flour let rest for 60 minutes.
  • Prepare your cans by wrapping in aluminum foil.
  • Put dough on a floured board and roll to ½ cm thick. Cut into strips 1.5-2 cm wide.
  • Rub oil on the foil. Wrap strips around the can. Lightly roll can with dough so it connects better. Rub melted butter on top and roll in sugar.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Some variations: Brush with melted butter when it comes out of the over and carefully roll in sugar, walnuts, coconut, or whatever sounds good to you. Or go the savory way and roll in parmesan cheese, everything but the bagel seasoning, or other cheese/seasoning combinations you love. Explore and have fun with it!
