Palmier Pretzels

We give the most famous version of this recipe. If desired, pretzels can be made with poppy seeds steamed and mixed with honey, with crushed nuts, raisins and other dried fruits, just with honey or jam.

Ingredients

• icing sugar - 1 tbsp. l.
• ground cinnamon - 1 tsp.
• sugar - 5 tbsp. l.
• butter - 1 tbsp. l.
• ready-made puff pastry - 2 sheets

Directions

1. Melt the butter, add 2 tbsp. l. sugar and stir. It is not necessary to stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved - it just needs to be evenly distributed. Sprinkle the surface of the table with sifted flour mixed with 1 tbsp. l. Sahara. Put one sheet of puff pastry on the table. Brush with sugar and butter using a cooking brush. Cover with a second sheet.
2. Roll out both sheets into a thin rectangle. Trim the edges with a knife. Sprinkle the cinnamon and the remaining sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.
3. Take two opposite edges of the rectangle and pull them towards each other so that they touch strictly in the middle of the layer. Press down with your hands.
4. Fold the opposite edges of the resulting rectangle again so that they touch in the middle.
5. Fold the resulting roll in half and cut it into pieces about 2 cm wide. When cut, the roll should resemble a multi-layered heart.
6. Cover the baking sheet with a sheet of oiled parchment. Put pieces on it, put in an oven preheated to 200 ° C for 7 minutes. Turn the pretzels over and bake for another 5 minutes. Cover the finished pretzels with a clean towel and let cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
