Christmas Tree

TÜRKÇE İÇİN TIKLAYIN

 
Christmas day is very close. I wanted to make a small present for our neighbours and I decided to prepare this nutella tart. This way we will be wishing them a merry christmas and at the same time we will have the chance to thank them for their patience for the last two months :)

I mentioned in one of my posts that I'd been searching some Christmas - New Year recipes. When I gathered the folding&cutting method which I saw in a web page together with Lucia's tart recipe I got this Christmas Tree. I hope you like it too

250g flour (150 + 100)
50g sunflower oil
150g sugar
2 small sized eggs (about 75-85g in total)
5g baking powder
1 scahet vanillin sugar
300g nutella
M&Ms

• Place 150g flour, oil, sugar, eggs. the remaining 100g flour, baking powder and vanillin sugar respectively in TM Bowl. Mix for 1 minute on Speed 3-4, using TM Spatula through the hole of TM Lid at the same time 
• Place the dough in a bowl, roll it into a ball shape, cover with plastic film and let it rest in the fridge for 2 hours
• Place baking paper on the surface that you work on. Sprinkle with a little flour
• Place the dough on the baking paper, sprinkle with a little flour on the top. Roll out into a square with a rolling pin, 30 x 30cm about

• Spread a bit flour on the dough and fold it as in the picture

• Unfold it back and make cuts as in the picture starting from folding lines

• Spread nutella  in the center with a spoon or spatula as in the picture

• Fold it as in the picture giving it to a Christmas Tree shape

• Decorate with M&Ms. If you like, you can make a star using a piece of the remnant dough and place it on the top of your tree

• Transfer it gently into baking tray together with the baking paper
• Bake it in oven preheated at 180ºC for 20-25 minutes

Afiyet olsun...


Since I've baked 5 tarts today in order to give as Christmas presents, I used remnant dough to make 3 small trees.

.... And here are the Christmas packages of our neighbors. They will be delivered tomorrow;)
