5.0 (1)
120 min.
Ingredients
  • 500g flour
  • 2 eggs
  • half a cube of yeast
  • 200ml fresh milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 70g butter
  • for decoration: ajvar
  • black peppercorns
Preparation
  1. Sift the flour twice and make a well in the center. Crumble the yeast into the well and pour in lukewarm water or fresh milk. Add sugar and salt, and mix.
  2. Incorporate the remaining ingredients except for the ajvar to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into three parts, with one piece slightly larger. Shape the larger piece into Santa's face and the other two into the hat and beard, reserving a bit for Santa's beard and nose.
  4. Let the shaped dough rise for about 30 minutes. Place two black peppercorns for the eyes and brush the hat with ajvar.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Once baked, remove from the oven, sprinkle with a little water, and cover for 5-10 minutes.
