Ingrediënten

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Additional: 5 mins |Servings: 48

  • 2 ¼ cups cake flour
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable shortening
  • 4 ounces almond paste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Instructies

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and shortening with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in almond paste until thoroughly combined.
  • Add eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and almond extract.
  • Reduce the mixing speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients.
  • Scrape down the bowl once all dry ingredients are added, then mix on medium speed until evenly combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Fit a large pastry bag with an 864 or 4S tip and fill the bag with batter.
  • Pipe evenly sized cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart, allowing cookies room to puff slightly during baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, in batches if necessary, until the bottom edges are slightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

A freshly baked Koulouri on a rustic wooden table, featuring a golden-brown, crispy crust generously coated with sesame seeds. Some rings are stacked, while others are placed individually to showcase their round shape. A few are torn open to reveal the soft, airy interior. The bread rests on a wooden cutting board, accompanied by a small dish of olives, feta cheese, and a bowl of honey. Soft natural lighting enhances the warm, inviting tones.
