Comment préparer Cucidati Fruit And Chocolate Filled Cookie Rolls
- **Make the Filling:**
- Finely chop 1 cup of dark chocolate in a food processor.
- Add 1 cup mixed dried fruit (such as figs, raisins, currants, and apricots), 1/2 cup candied orange peel, and chop finely.
- Stir in 1/2 cup honey and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Refrigerate the filling in an airtight container for at least 2 hours.
- **Make the Dough:**
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
- **Assemble and Bake:**
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Divide the pastry dough and filling into thirds.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough into a 3 x 13-inch rectangle.
- Trim the edges.
- Shape one-third of the filling into a 13-inch rope.
- Place the filling rope 1 inch from a long edge of the pastry.
- Fold the far edge of the pastry over the filling.
- Brush the edge with water and fold up to enclose the filling completely.
- Pinch the edges to seal tightly.
- Cut the pastry diagonally into 1-inch pieces.
- Arrange the cookies seam-side down on ungreased baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each.
- Repeat steps 12-20 with the remaining dough and filling.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container.
- **Candied Orange Peel (Optional):**
- Score 2 large oranges into quarters and remove the peel, ensuring no white pith remains.
- Cut the peel into 1/8-inch wide strips.
- Boil the peel in 6 cups of water for 10 minutes. Drain.
- Repeat the boiling process with 6 cups of fresh water. Drain well.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups water, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup honey.
- Heat over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a boil, then add the peel.
- Boil gently, stirring frequently, until the peel is tender and the syrup reduces to 3/4 cup (about 40 minutes).
- Cool the candied peel in a colander, stirring occasionally.
- Store in an airtight container.
