PureSpelt hazelnut horseshoes
for 20 horseshoes
Crumbled yeast dough
500 g of PureSpelt white flour
1 teaspoon of salt
50 g of sugar
125 g of butter, cold, cut into pieces
15 g of yeast, crumbled
2 dl of milk
Filling
350 g of ground hazelnuts
75 g of honey, liquid
125 g of sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1.5 dl of cream
2 tablespoons of candied orange, finely chopped, according to taste
1/2 an egg, whisked
1
For the dough, mix the flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Add the butter, using your hands rub until it has a fine crumbly consistency. Dissolve the yeast in the milk, pour on to the mixture and fold into a dough, do not knead. Wrap in plastic foil and leave in the refrigerator over night.

For the filling, mix together all the ingredients, cover and leave to cool in the refrigerator over night.

Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to form a rectangle of approx. 35 x 50 cm. Cut lengthwise into four equal strips. Put the filling mixture into an icing bag without a nozzle, squeeze the filling onto the pastry strips and cut off to length. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little egg. Wrap the pastry around the filling to form tightly packed rolls and then carefully roll out the rolls until they are approximately 1 metre in length. Cut each roll into 5 pieces each approximately 20 cms in length, form each into a horseshoe shape and lay them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush with the whisked egg and leave to rise for a further 15-20 minutes. Brush again with egg before baking.
Baking
bake for 15-20 minutes in the middle of an oven pre-heated to 180°C.
Suggestion
To achieve a very smooth filling, liquidise the hazelnuts and the sugar before mixing with the remainder of the filling ingredients.
