Scroll down for English recipe

Am facut aceasta prajitura cu visine la cererea sotului meu, pentru ca ii aminteste de copilarie. Coca se aseamana putin cu cea de cozonac si este pufoasa si dulceaga. Contrasteaza placut cu visinele putin acrisoare.

Ingrediente:

• 500 g faina 000
• 25 g drojdie proaspata
• 2 oua
• 250 ml lapte caldut
• 150 g zahar
• un praf mic de sare
• 1 lingura esenta de vanilie
• 300 g visine fara samburi
• zahar pudra vanilat

Mod de preparare:

• Topeste drojdia cu 1 lingura de zahar in 100 ml de lapte caldut
• Amesteca faina cu laptele, ouale si drojdia topita. Spre sfarsit pune sarea, 75 g de zahar si vanilia si framanta pana cand se formeaza o coca fina la atingere, moale si buna pentru a fi intinsa. Daca e prea dura, poti sa mai pui putin lapte.

• Lasa coca 5-10 minute sa creasca. In acest timp incalzeste cuptorul la 180 C si unge o tava cu putin ulei.
• Intinde coca in foaie subtire. Pe una din laturi pune visine si presara zahar

• Ruleaza coca peste visine. Pune inca un rand de visine si presara generos cu zahar. 

• Ruleaza din nou si pune visine- zahar pana la sfarsit. Pune prajitura cu visine in tava si presara cu zahar pudra.

•  Coace prajitura 25 de minute, la 180 C. Scoate prajitura pe un gratar metalic si acoper-o cu un prosop de bucatarie, pana cand se raceste.
• Prajitura cu visine se serveste presarata cu zahar pudra.
