Daring Bakers Challenge: Armenian Nazook


Jason from DailyCandor.com hosted our Daring Bakers' Challenge this month.  He introduced us to some Armenian delights: Nazook and Nutmeg Cake.  Not being a big nutmeg fan, I chose to make the nazook.


Nazook is a rolled cookie.  Yeasted dough gets sprinkled with a filling and rolled up, sliced, and baked.  Jason told us that the traditional filling is a vanilla one but he encouraged us to try our own versions.  So, I tried four different fillings.  Vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate, and lemon.


I brought my nazook out to the neighborhood playground after school.  All the kids and moms got a chance to try them.  Among the kids the favorite flavor was cinnamon.  The adults favored the lemon.  But, really, they were all good.

Hop on over to the Daring Kitchen to find the recipes for this month's challenge and to see all the tasty creations of other Daring Baker bloggers.
