How to Make Trdelnik Slovak Czech Sweet Pastry
- Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Trdelník stick: Wrap a 2-foot long, 3-4 inch diameter wooden dowel (available at most hardware stores) in aluminum foil to prevent burning. Alternatively, use a metal rod.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Wrap each rope around the prepared stick, slightly overlapping the strands.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and ground nuts (optional).
- Generously sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the wrapped dough.
- Prepare your grill or oven: For grilling, remove the grill grate and position the Trdelník stick directly over medium heat, rotating it continuously to ensure even cooking. For the oven, bake at 350°F (175°C).
- Bake/Grill the Trdelník for approximately 160 minutes for the grill or approximately 30-40 minutes for the oven (rotating it frequently), or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the Trdelník from the stick and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy immediately! It is best served warm.
