Învârtită
Moldovan coiled yeast pastry layered with plum jam and baked until golden.
About Învârtită
Învârtită is a Moldovan and Romanian spiral pastry whose name reflects its twisted, coiled form. This profile follows a Moldovan sweet version filled with plum jam and made from an enriched yeast dough.
The pastry has a gently sweet, buttery flavour with soft milk and vanilla notes. Plum jam provides a concentrated fruit tang that runs through each turn of the spiral.
Baked as a broad coil, the pastry has a golden surface and a soft, bread-like crumb arranged in visible rolled layers. Slices reveal curved ribbons of dark plum filling between the pale dough.
