When I brought this savory ring to an extension luncheon, club members
let me know how much they enjoyed it. Next meeting I had to bring copies of the recipe for everyone there! —Pamela Schlickbernd West Point, Nebraska
Ingredients
-
3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
-
1/3 cup sugar
-
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
-
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
-
1 cup whole milk
-
1/2 cup butter, divided
-
1/4 cup mashed potato flakes
-
1/4 cup water
-
1 large egg, room temperature
-
FILLING:
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/3 cup minced chives
-
Sesame or poppy seeds
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk, 6 tablespoons butter, potato flakes and water to 120°-130°. Add to the dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Beat in egg until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
-
2.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
3.
In a heavy saucepan, combine the egg, cream and salt; cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in the chives. Cool.
-
4.
Punch dough down. Turn onto lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll 1 portion into a 16x12-in. rectangle. Spread half of the filling over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring.
-
5.
With scissors, cut from the outside edge to two-thirds of the way toward the center of the ring at 1-in. intervals. Separate strips slightly; twist to allow filling to show. Melt the remaining butter; brush over ring. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
-
6.
Bake at 350° until lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
