Braided roll with cherry filling

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for baking kalach.

2. STEP 2

   

   Into the mold I add 2 chicken eggs, 1 yolk, butter at room temperature, warm milk, sugar, yeast, flour and a pinch of salt.

3. STEP 3

   

   I put it in the bread machine (dough program).

4. STEP 4

   

   I put the cherries and juice in a ladle, add sugar and starch, put them on the fire and let the mixture cook for 5-7 minutes, after boiling, so that the juice thickens and the sourness from the cherries remains.

5. STEP 5

   

   I place the finished dough on a table sprinkled with flour. I knead the dough slightly and divide it into 2 parts.

6. STEP 6

   

   I roll out part of the dough into a rectangle, lay out part of the filling and distribute it over the entire surface, leaving the edges ungreased. I roll it up.

7. STEP 7

   

   I also form the second part of the test.

8. STEP 8

   

   I form a tourniquet from two rolls, intertwining the rolls.

9. STEP 9

   

   In a mold greased with butter, I lay out the roll in a ring. I put it in a warm place to rise for 20-30 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees to bake for 40 minutes. Bake until golden brown.

11. STEP 11

    

    I take the finished roll out of the oven, let it cool a little and remove it from the mold.

12. STEP 12

    

    While the roll is cooling, I prepare the fudge for decoration. I break the chocolate into pieces, add butter and heat it up.

13. STEP 13

    

    I pour melted chocolate over the top of the whole roll.

14. STEP 14

    

    Beat one egg white until foamy, add powdered sugar, lemon juice and continue beating until thick peaks form.

15. STEP 15

    

    I decorate the chocolate-covered kalach with whipped meringue on top, drawing a pattern to my taste.

16. STEP 16

    

    I cut the finished roll into pieces and serve. Enjoy your tea!!!
