Dough Ingredients

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Filling

    In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Shaping Pastries

  1. 7

    Shape the Dough

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

  2. 8

    Cut and Fill

    Cut the dough into squares (about 4x4 inches). Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling and a teaspoon of fruit preserves in the center of each square.

  3. 9

    Fold and Seal

    Fold the corners of the square towards the center to form a pocket. Pinch the edges to seal tightly.

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 11
