Nutty Pastries With Cinnamon And Fennel Seeds
- 8 tablespoons walnut and almonds, ground
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons raisins, finely chopped, and black currants
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and ground cloves
- 4 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon soda
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons water
- Pinch of salt
- Mix the flour, sugar, soda, and a pinch of salt together.
- Beat together the egg, olive oil and water.
- Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the liquid. If it seems too thick to handle, add a little water.
- Turn out onto a floured board and knead for 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 250-300u0b0.
- Divide the dough into balls that you can roll out easily.
- Roll out to about 1/8 -inch thickness.
- Cut into strips about 2 1/2x8 inches.
- Lay some filling along the length, in the center of the strip.
- Dampen one edge of the dough with a wet finger, turn it over the filling to meet the other edge, and crimp the edges well together, making a spine.
- Take the ends of the rolls and bring them around to join, making a circle and crimp them together well.
- Arrange on an oiled baking sheet. The spine should be on top, making an attractive ridge, but if you feel that might burst, pale it down on the sheet.
- Brush well with beaten egg white and bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes- 1 hour.
