Daring Bakers' April Challenge: Armenian Nazook

When this post gets published I will already be in Germany with my friends from college!!! I really need a few days off, so forgive me if I don't visit the blogs I follow for some days, I probably won't have Internet access until Tuesday!!

The Daring Bakers' April challenge, hosted by Jason at Daily Candor, were two Armenian standards: nazook and nutmeg cake. Nazook is a layered yeasted dough pastry with a sweet filling, and nutmeg cake is a fragrant, nutty coffee-­style cake.

We had to choose one or both but as I didn't have much time I ended up doing the Nazook as it sounded more challenging. I know I say this all the time but I love being in Daring Bakers and in TWD, I always discover great things that I would probably never hear about if it wasn't for them.

I have no idea if the taste was like it should be. But it was delicious. The only change I made was that I put less filling than the recipe said as I thought it wasn't necessary.

I made half of the recipe as I thought 40 Nazooks would be too much. I was wrong. Less than 24 hours after baking them they were gone, completely.

If you get a chance, do try this recipe. It's really good!!! You can see the recipe here.


Cuando se publique este post estaré ya en Alemania con mis amigos de la universidad! Necesito unos días de descanso, perdonadme si no visito los blogs que sigo durante algunos días, probablemente no tendré acceso a Internet hasta el martes!!! 

El desafío de Daring Bakers de abril, por Jason en Daily Candor, fueron dos platos típicos armenios: nazook y pastel de nuez moscada. El Nazook es una masa  de pastelería levada con varias capas que lleva un relleno dulce y el pastel de nuez moscada es un pastel con café y nueces.

Teníamos que elegir uno o ambos pero como no tenía demasiado tiempo acabé haciendo el Nazook porque sonaba más complicado. Sé que digo esto continuamente pero me encanta estar en grupos como Daring Bakers y TWD porque siempre descubro cosas geniales que probablemente nunca llegaría a saber que existen sino fuese por ellos.


No tengo ni idea si el sabor era como debería de ser. Pero estaba buenísimo. El único cambio que hice fue que puse menos relleno porque pensé que tanto no era necesario.

Hice la mitad de la receta porque pensé que 40 Nazooks serían demasiado. Estaba totalmente equivocada. En menos de 24 horas habían volado.

Si tenéis la oportunidad probar esta receta. Esta riquísima. La podéis ver aquí y si queréis la receta traducida pedírmela sin problemas :)

  12. Nazook - I love the name, but have never heard of it before nor tried it. It looks similar to a cinnamon roll and I bet was delicious.
