  • 80 g sugar
  • 75 g soft butter
  • 12 g dry yeast
  • 20 g psyllium husk (HUSK)

  • Method

  • 1
    Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan).
  • 2
    Prepare Dough: Mix all dry ingredients together. Add water, kefir, and egg, and mix until the flour is absorbed. Add butter and mix well for about 5 minutes at medium speed until smooth.
  • 3
    Roll the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface (use rice flour), sprinkle a little flour on top, and gently roll it out into a rectangle approximately 50 x 30 cm.
  • 4
    Add Filling: Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Fold the dough in half lengthwise to create a rectangle of 50 x 15 cm. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. For each piece, cut three equal strips up to 1 cm from the folded edge (leaving them connected at the top). Braid the strips and twist them into a knot, ensuring the seam is placed underneath.
  • 5
    Proof: Line a cast-iron pot with parchment paper and place the twists inside with the seams facing down. Cover with a lid and let them rise for 60 minutes.
  • 6
    Bake: Heat the cream just below boiling and pour it over the twists once they are proofed. Bake at 190°C (fan) for about 40 minutes, the first 20 minutes with the lid on.
  • 7
    Prepare Sugar Syrup: While the twists bake, heat sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat without stirring. Simmer until the sugar melts. Reduce the heat to low and keep the syrup warm until needed.
  • 8
    Finish: Brush the freshly baked twists with the sugar syrup and sprinkle with cardamom sugar. Allow to cool slightly before removing them from the pot.
  • 9
    Serve: Enjoy the twists warm with a good cup of coffee or hot cocoa.
