Bread sticks

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 1 package dry yeast
• 100 ml milk
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 700 g flour
• 250 g butter
• 100 g sour cream
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

Chocolate cubes with semolina

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 300 g sugar
• 200 g flour
• 100 ml oil
• 1 baking powder
• 1 packet gelatin
• 200 g powdered sugar
• 200 g butter
• 750 ml milk
• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 6 tablespoons semolina
• 200 g chocolate
• 5 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

1. The first step in making this dessert is preparing the sponge. Beat the eggs until foamy, add the oil and continue beating. In a bowl combine together the flour and baking powder; add the flour mixture into the egg mixture and stir using a wooden spoon. Bake in pan with diameter of 30 cm until the sponge gets nice golden color.
2. Making the filling: In a bowl on high heat add the milk along with the sugar; at the end of boiling add the semolina and set aside to cool for a while; after 5 minutes add the gelatin (previously soaked in water until doubled in volume). While the mixture is being cooled with electric mixer beat the butter with powdered sugar; pour the mixture from the pot and mix well until all the ingredients are well incorporated into one homogeneous mixture.
3. Cut the cooled crust in two equal parts. Set the first part into the pan and add the whole fill (the fill is liquid but after several minutes in the refrigerator it hardens), and over the fill add the second crust.
4. Set the cake in the fridge while you are making the glaze. The preparation of the glaze is very simple. Just put the butter, chocolate and milk in a pot on medium heat. When these ingredients are melted and completely dissolved and combined together pour the whole mixture over the prepared cake.

Note:

Before serving, the cake must stand in refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours.
Cut into cubes with size of your choice. If you prefer, you can also sprinkle ground brown sugar or coconut over the cubes.
Feel free to decorate in the way you want and to add the additional flavors you like.
