Ingredients

• 500 g All-purpose flour
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 7 g Instant yeast
• 250 ml Whole milk
• 50 g Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 400 g Canned white beans (such as navy or cannellini beans)
• 60 g Brown sugar
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 batch Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm (but not hot). Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Let this mixture cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Step 3

Add the lukewarm milk-butter mixture and the eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or dough hook attachment until the dough comes together.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is soft, smooth, and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

In the meantime, prepare the bean filling. Drain and rinse the canned white beans. Mash them with a fork or blend until smooth.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, combine the mashed beans, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well and set aside.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 9

Cut the dough into circles using a 3-inch round cutter or the rim of a glass.

Step 10

Place about 1 tablespoon of the bean filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Step 11

Place the filled pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the pastries with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 13

Bake the Bohne Beroggi for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and baked through.

Step 14

Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
