I was recently given a postcard where this lovely recipe was written on back and found it good enough to share with the world! I don't know what exactly tıkhması means, but the first part of it is named after a geographical place in Azerbaijan - Guba, also spelt as Quba and Kuba.
Makes about 11 buns
Total time of cooking: 1h 40m
Ingredients:
- 325g flour
- 100g ghee for the dough + 25g ghee for the filling (you can buy ghee or make it yourself, for this please refer to my previous post)
- 100ml milk
- 1 egg
- 80g sugar (cane sugar would be healthier)
- half tsp yeast
- half tsp saffron strands
- nutmeg and salt to taste
- For the filling, mix well flour(65g), sugar(80g) and ghee(25g), add some nutmeg and set aside. You may want to increase a bit the above mentioned quantity to fill all the buns equally generously.
- For the dough, pour milk with 100ml of water into a deep saucepan and warm it up a bit.
- Then yeast, egg, ghee and salt should be dissolved in warmed milk.
- Stirring constantly, pour the flour and mix and work everything into a uniform mass. Leave covered in a warm place for 40 min.
- ... Roll out the dough to 1,5-2mm thick, make a roll and cut into pieces.
- Roll out each piece of dough and put a filling in the midst of it. Now shape buns.
- Lay out the buns onto a baking sheet.
- Coat each bun with a slightly beaten egg and a saffron infusion* and set aside in a warm place for 20-25 min.
- Bake in the oven under 160-180C for 35-40 min.
* infuse a pinch of saffron strands in a necessary amount of warm\hot water and leave for 20-30min.
