BLUEBERRY BABKA BRAID
I've been doing a fair amount of baking thanks to the Coronavirus stay-at-home orders. This babka braid looks complicated but isn't very hard. It's a fun way to use up frozen blueberries! Store leftovers in an airtight container, or wrap tightly before freezing.

Steps:
- Combine milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add remaining sugar, butter, and eggs to the milk mixture. Stir until mostly combined, but it won't be smooth.
- Measure flour, cardamom, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour in wet ingredients and attach dough hook. Mix until dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Cover the stand mixer with a clean dish towel and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Uncover the dough and knead on medium speed until smooth, about 5 minutes. Continue to knead on low speed until dough is soft, elastic, and shiny, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the blueberry filling. Combine blueberries, sugar, and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a low boil. Smash the blueberries with a potato masher. Continue to simmer until the mixture has thickened enough to spread, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in extracts. Chill until completely cool.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down and divide into 2 pieces. Roll 1 piece into a 9x18-inch rectangle, squaring off with a bench scraper as you roll to make it is as even as possible. Spread 1/2 of the blueberry filling over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border. Roll up the dough into a tight roll, starting from the long edge closest to you. Pinch seams to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Place logs side by side on a lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
- Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to each log in half, lengthwise, so you have 4 filled strips of dough on the baking sheet.
- Place 2 strips across each other to form a plus sign. Arrange the remaining 2 strips to form an interlocking cross. Fold the end of the strip closest to you over the strip to its right. Repeat 3 more times, moving clockwise. Fold remaining strips over to the left, moving counterclockwise. Repeat folding step until only short ends remain; join ends and tuck them carefully under the braid.
- Cover the braid and place in a warm place to rise for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) towards the end of the second rise.
- Beat egg with a pinch of salt and brush some over the braid. Sprinkle with pearl sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Lay out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Imagine the pastry has 3 equal sections. Add the hazelnut spread to the center section and, using a knife, cover the center section with the spread, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the top and bottom. Sprinkle the peanuts over the chocolate hazelnut spread.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the 2 outside sections into six 1-inch horizontal strips just to the center section.
- Fold the 1/2-inch borders at the top and bottom inwards, over the edges of the chocolate filling. Next, starting at one end, begin folding the pastry strips over the filling, alternating the sides to create a braid appearance. Put the braid on the parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Brush the pastry braid with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sea salt. Bake until golden and cooked through, 28 to 30 minutes.
- While the pastry bakes, make the icing by whisking the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Allow the pastry to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Drizzle over the icing, slice and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese and sour cream in a small bowl until fluffy. Add the granulated sugar and whip until well combined, making sure there are no lumps. Reserve for later use.
- Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl with a fork.
- Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured flat surface. Roll the pastry into a 14-by-12-inch rectangle. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture lengthwise down the center of the pastry. Cut slits 1 inch apart from the 2 sides of the pastry rectangle within 1/2 inch of the cream cheese mixture. Arrange half of the strawberries down the center of the pastry on top of the cream cheese mixture. Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the strawberries on a diagonal, alternating sides, to cover the strawberries. Repeat the entire process with the remaining pastry sheet, cream cheese filling and strawberries. Brush the pastries very lightly with the egg wash (otherwise they won't rise). Sprinkle with the demerara sugar and top with pistachios.
- Bake until golden brown, 30 minutes. Let cool on a rack for about 20 minutes before serving.
BLUEBERRY PASTRY BRAID
I first started making this when I used to make Christmas breakfast for my husband's family. This makes 3 braids, so sometimes instead of making all blueberry, I would make a variety. I also probably use a little more than 1 cup. I don't measure I just spoon on. They can be shaped and refrigerated for baking the next day. Just allow an extra hour to rise if they are cold. Cook time includes chilling and rising time.
