Lemon And Anise Ensaimada With Pastry Cream Recipe by Toni Martín
Cooking Instructions 1 day 1 Place all the dough ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. 2 Mix, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed, until you have a smooth, shiny, and elastic dough. It will take some time, so be patient. 3 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 6 to 7 hours. 4 After rising, divide the dough into two pieces. 5 Roll out each piece first with a rolling pin, then stretch it gently by hand from underneath until it becomes almost see-through. 6 Spread plenty of room-temperature lard over the dough and sprinkle with lemon zest and anise seeds. 7 Roll up the dough into a cylinder, as you would for any ensaimada. 8 Let the rolled dough rest for another 2 to 3 hours in the turned-off oven. 9 After resting, stretch the dough as much as possible and shape it into the classic spiral, leaving space between the coils. 10 Let the shaped dough rest overnight. 11 The next day, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). 12 Pipe or spoon the pastry cream between the folds of the spiral. 13 Bake until golden brown. 14 Let cool completely before generously dusting with powdered sugar and serving. 15 1 Place all the dough ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. 1 Place all the dough ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. 2 Mix, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed, until you have a smooth, shiny, and elastic dough.
