For the reason that filling must be unfold pretty thinly to stop numerous leakage when shaping, I made a full batch of feather roll dough in order that I may make each swirled buns and one other babka with alternate shaping. I did add one drop of forest inexperienced gel food shade to my candied kiwi.

| Sure, you’ll be able to make your own. I partially dried mine in a dehydrator in a single day. |
To make 6 swirl buns:
Roll out half the dough into an extended rectangle, about 18×8 inches. Unfold with a skinny layer of filling. It’s best to make use of an offset spatula.
Fold the dough over itself by thirds to create a letter tri-fold packet.
 |
Flip the dough so the open ends are on the perimeters and slice into 6 equal strips.
Gently tease every strip somewhat longer and twist round right into a knot, folding the ends beneath. This could get messy, particularly when you use an excessive amount of filling.
Enable buns to rise till nearly double, then bake at 375ºF for 15-20 minutes or till golden brown.
Enable buns to chill barely and prime with a easy glaze of 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tbsp milk, or as wanted to get desired drizzling consistency. (I want a thicker drizzle however you too can make a skinny glaze and use it to clean the entire prime.)

I’m completely tempted to do that technique out with house candied strawberries now!
