Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 170 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 ml Cold water
• 150 grams Bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
• 100 grams Caramel sauce
• 50 grams Crystallized ginger (finely chopped)
• 15 ml Milk (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Add the cold diced butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle approximately 30x20 cm in size.

Step 6

Spread the caramel sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 cm border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped bittersweet chocolate and crystallized ginger evenly over the caramel layer.

Step 8

Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal and place it seam-side down.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 even pieces and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Lightly brush the tops of the swirls with milk to encourage browning.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

Step 12

Remove the swirls from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these indulgent Caramel Chocolate Ginger Swirls!
