Directions
KWC Test Kitchen Note: Prepare dough in advance and refrigerate overnight.
1. For the dough: Place 2 sticks butter in freezer until frozen solid. Whisk together yeast and water and wait 5 - 10 minutes for it to foam (proof).
2. In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine sugar, dry milk, salt and 4 cups flour. Add yeast mixture, eggs, and 2 tablespoons soft butter; beat at medium speed 7 minutes. Cover; allow to rise at room temperature until doubled.
3. While dough is rising, grate frozen butter on the large holes of a grater. Coat butter with ¼ cup flour. Return to freezer.
4. Using spoon, stir frozen butter into dough. Gradually add 1 cup flour, just until incorporated, to form a workable dough. Place in greased sealable bowl and refrigerate overnight. The next day remove dough from refrigerator and deflate.
5. For the filling: Whisk together condensed milk, lemon zest and lemon juice; mixture will thicken slightly.
6. For the streusel: Combine flour, sugar, butter, lemon zest and orange zest, until crumbly.
7. To make pinwheels, divide dough in half. On well-floured work surface, roll half of the dough into a 20” x 15” rectangle. Cut into twelve 5” squares. Cut slashes from corners, leaving center intact. Lift every other point in toward the center, pressing the corner into the dough. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat with second half of dough.
8. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water; brush gently on each pinwheel. Spoon filling in centers of squares; sprinkle on streusel. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rise until almost doubled. Preheat oven to 400°F.
9. Bake pinwheels 8 minutes. Rotate baking sheet and bake 1 - 2 more minutes, until golden brown. Transfer pinwheels to rack.
Yield: 24 pinwheels.
