Yeast snails can be made with various fillings. They taste great and we eat them in the fall, however this time we will focus on those stuffed with pistachios. After all, these small nuts are still a culinary trend – they dominate in desserts, cakes and creams, and their taste wins the hearts of many sweet tooths.
To make pistachio nuts, you will need ingredients typical for yeast rolls. You can’t do without pistachio cream – you can buy it in the store or make it yourself from pistachios. Its sweet taste is broken by raspberries – these are the fruits most often combined with such a filling.
What ingredients do you need to make pistachio nuts?
Cake:
- 500 g of wheat flour;
- 300 g of milk;
- 80 g of butter;
- 25 g of fresh yeast;
- 20 g of sugar;
- a pinch of salt.
Filling:
- 200 g pistachio cream;
- 60 g fresh or frozen raspberries;
- 50 g unsalted, shelled pistachios.
Icing:
- 100 g pistachio cream;
- 100 g mascarpone.
First, prepare the dough: heat the milk in a pot until it is warm. Add 20 g of sugar, butter and yeast. Mix everything until combined and set aside for 10 minutes. Then sift the wheat flour into a large bowl, add salt, the rest of the sugar and the leaven.
Knead the dough with a mixer with a hook or by hand for 10 minutes until you obtain a smooth, elastic mass. Then Place it in a buttered dish, cover it with a cloth and leave it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour..
When the dough has doubled in volume, place it on a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle measuring 60×25 cm and about 5 mm thick. Spread evenly with the filling, i.e. 200 g of pistachio cream and sprinkle with raspberries and crushed pistachios.
Then roll the rectangle into a roulade, starting from the longest side and cut it into 12 equal pieces, about 5 cm wide. Place them cut side up in a baking tray lined with baking paper, cover with a cloth and set aside to rise again for 20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Bake the pistachios for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown.
Finally, make the icing: mix pistachio cream with mascarpone and spread it over the snails. You can decorate them with fresh raspberries and pistachios.
