Summer Berry Roll Recipes

Steps:

• Sweet Dough:.
• Sprinkle milk with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes; whisk in egg yolks. In food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, lemon rind, salt, and cardamom; pulse in butter until in pea sized clumps. Add milk mixture and pulse just until dough holds together.
• With floured hands on a floured surface, lightly knead a few turns (adding a little more flour only if dough is sticking to work surface) until in a soft, ball. Place in buttered (or Pam'd) bowl, turning to coat, and cover with plastic wrap; let rise at room temperature until doubled in volume, about 90 minutes.
• Lightly push down dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12 x 14" (30 x 35 cm) rectangle. Transfer to parchment paper-lined or buttered baking sheet.
• Mix almonds and 2 tbsp sugar; spread lengthwise, about 4 inches (10 cm) wide, down centre of rectangle.
• Stir together berries, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice; spoon evenly over almonds.
• Fold one long edge of dough up over filling; covering berries; lightly brush with water. Fold second long edge of dough over first, pinching along edge to seal seam. Cover with plastic wrap and tea towel; let rise for 30 minutes. Whisk egg & milk (or cream) together; brush top with mixture. With scissors or razor blade, cut about ten 2" (5 cm) diagonal slashes along centre, through to filling. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake in centre of 350 degree oven until top is golden and filling is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool on pan on rack.

Steps:

• Put the flour, butter, icing sugar, ground almonds and zest in a food processor and whizz to crumbs. Mix the yolk with 1 tbsp cold water, then add to the processor and pulse until the dough comes together.
• Split the pastry in half, wrap in cling film, then chill for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a 20cm pie dish with half the pastry, add a sheet of greaseproof paper and baking beans and bake blind for 30 mins. Remove the paper and beans. Mix the berries and cornflour with the extra 2 tbsp icing sugar and a squeeze of orange juice, then pile into the pie base.
• Roll out the remaining pastry until big enough to cover the pie with a slight overlap. Whisk the egg white with a fork, then brush a little around the pastry rim. Carefully lift on the pastry lid, trim the edges and press with fork prongs to seal. Use a 2cm cutter, the large end of a piping nozzle or a bottletop to stamp out a few pastry polka dots - discarding the pastry circles you stamp out. Brush all over with more egg white, then sprinkle generously with granulated sugar and bake for 30 mins until golden and the syrupy fruit has started to bubble out of the polka dots.
• Allow the pie to cool for a few mins before serving hot, or warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of clotted cream, ice cream or drizzle of single cream, if you like.
