JAM KNOTS

These Jam Knots are super easy to make and only require 7 ingredients! And if you think, it's super complicated to form the knot-no, it isn't😃

You can use your favorite jam, I used red berry jam. The yeast dough is simple to make and even if you're a beginner, this recipe is perfect for you. On my Instagram account @tamarasbakings, I've got a video on how to make these Jam Knots.

So, without further due, let's get right into it!



Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 250g flour (2 cups)
  • 125g milk (1/2 cup)
  • 25g butter (1 big tablespoon)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 21g fresh yeast (you can also use dry yeast but then it's 1 package/7g)
  • 30g sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • Your favorite jam
Instructions:

  1. Sift your flour into a large mixing bowl. 
  2. Combine butter and milk by heating it (for example in the microwave) until it is lukewarm. 
  3. Add your sugar to the butter-milk mix and give it a quick stir. The sugar doesn't have to be dissolved.
  4. Add the egg yolk and the milk-mix to the sifted flour and knead for about 5 minutes until you get a soft and smooth dough.
  5. Cover your bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 40 minutes until it has doubled in size. You can either place it in the sun or in the oven, but make sure your oven is not too hot.
  6. Roll out your dough into a circle and cut it into strips. Use a sharp knife.
  7. Take your jam and cover every yeast dough stripe with a thin layer.
  8. Form a knot out of each stripe. Start by making a real knot, then hide the ends somewhere in your knot. If you are unsure, how to do it, check out my Reels.
  9. Put your Jam Knots on a baking sheet and bake them at 180°C/356°F for 15 minutes, until they are light brown
  10. Enjoy!

Do you want to learn how I create a short-form food video from start to finish?

I've been sharing my baking creations for more than five years on my Instagram Account @tamarasbakings . It all started with pictures but slowly, I transitioned into short-form videos, aka Reels. In the beginning, I made them very detailed and experimented with different settings in my home, various backdrops and camera angles, editing techniques, etc. but over time I created an effective way to film my Reels and now I am sharing multiple ones per month. Since I have the best followers in the world, I often get comments on how nice my editing is or how beautifully filmed my videos are. And I do pay close attention to the little details, like props and decor items, camera angles, and creating interest, so people genuinely want to watch my videos.

Cinnamon Rolls - perfect for fall baking

When I think of fall baking and the cozy season, I immediately think about cinnamon rolls, as well. There's just something so comforting about a soft, fluffy, and sweet cinnamon roll together with a cup of your fav fall drink. So today, I am sharing my favorite cinnamon recipe with you. I've always been using this exact recipe and I can confidently say that my whole family and friends love it! The yeast dough - things to keep in mind The most important thing about a good and fluffy cinnamon roll is, of course, the yeast dough- but how can you ensure it gets fluffy and perfect? First of all, I always use fresh yeast. In my opinion, this gives you the best results. In order to make sure the yeast can do its job properly, the temperature of the milk (and butter mixture) is key! If your mixture is too hot or too cold, you won't get a good yeast dough, it won't rise and your cinnamon rolls will be dry and flat. I always think of a hot bathtub when I heat my milk.
