WALNUT & PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY LAYERED STAR BREAD!

Bread making is always fun to me, so thought I would make this intricate-looking star bread, which is not really intricate. It's effortless. Sharing the Recipe of star bread with another filling - WALNUT & PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY.

Prep time: 2 hours 45 mins

Assembling time:30 mins

Cooking time: 30 mins

Serving: 10-inch diameter one-star bread


Ingredients:


1 teaspoon instant dry yeast

3 Tablespoons granulated sugar

160 ml whole milk (warm)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

1 egg

2 cups heaped (325 g) all-purpose flour

More flour to knead and roll the dough

1 teaspoon salt

1 egg for egg wash

1/4 cup peanut butter for filling

1/4 cup spicy pomegranate jelly ( Or any other jelly) for filling

2 tablespoons pomegranate sugar for filling

2 tablespoons chopped walnut for filling


Methods:

Step 1: Make the dough.


Mix the salt with the flour.

Whisk together the warm milk (not too hot) and the egg. And then, add sugar, yeast, melted butter to the milk and egg mixture.

Combine everything in a stand mixer or a mixing bowl.

Make a soft messy, sticky dough.


Grease a bowl with some oil and put the sticky dough in the bowl.


Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for 2 hours to raise the dough.


Step 2: Make the bread.


After 2 hours, take out the sticky dough on a floured surface to knead.

Add 1/4 cup of more flour and knead the dough to make a

soft and supple and elastic enough dough.



Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.


Roll each out into a rough 10-inch circle.



Put the rolled out dough on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet!

Spread Peanut butter on the first rolled out dough.


Spread pomegranate jelly on the second rolled out dough.


Sprinkle pomegranate sugar, and chopped walnut on the third rolled out dough.


Stack them on top of each other with the filling.

There will be 4 layers of flat dough and 3 layers of filling.

Place a small glass or bowl in the center to make an indent. This is the center of the star.

With a sharp knife, cut 16 even pieces. While cutting, make sure that you cut through all the layers.

Otherwise, it won't be easy to twist each piece.

Take two strips and twist them twice.

Left one anti-clockwise and the right one clockwise.

Then press the two ends together to make a sharp tip.


So the star bread will have 8 petals.


Let the star bread sit to rise the second time for 30 mins.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Take the egg in a small bowl and add a tablespoon of milk or water to it and mix together for egg wash.

After 30 mins, apply egg washes to the bread and bake it in the oven for 30 mins or until the pedals are golden brown.

Enjoy the walnut and peanut butter jelly star bread with a hot cup of coffee.
