Ingredients

Dough and Filling Ingredients

500 grams (1 pound) ready-made yeast dough
4 tablespoons sugar
250 grams (0.5 pounds) berries (such as cherry, apples with nuts and raisins, or mixed berries)
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Berry Filling

Start by gently cooking the frozen berries in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar to the berries and let them simmer until they release their juices and become tender.

Once the berries are soft, stir in the cornstarch to thicken the mixture. Continue stirring until it reaches a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool while you prepare the dough.

Step 2

Roll Out the Dough

On a lightly floured surface, take the ready-made yeast dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Aim for about 1 centimeter thick. Make sure the dough is even to ensure uniform baking.

If desired, sprinkle a little extra sugar over the dough to enhance sweetness.

Step 3

Assemble the Roll

Spread the cooled berry filling evenly across the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Be generous with the filling for maximum flavor.

Next, carefully roll the dough from one end to the other, creating a tight log. Seal the edges by pinching them closed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

Step 4

Bake the Berry Roll

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the assembled roll onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you wish, brush the top with a little egg wash for a golden finish.

Bake the roll for about 30 minutes or until it is golden brown and puffed. Keep an eye on it towards the end to avoid burning. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Slice the berry roll into portions and serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy your delicious puff pastry berry roll with family and friends!
