I'm trying to find a recipe for an overnight fruit pastry. My grandfather told me that in the old country (Romania/Transylvania) his mother used to make this. I would love to do it but his recipe was so clear. If anyone knows what I'm talking about or can help me figure it out so that it would work and taste good - please reply!

From what he told me, it's a dough that she rolled out and spread something on that put on all types of fruit (plums, peaches, ??). She then rolled it up and formed a swirl in a pot, (maybe spread something again? Not sure) and then covered it to bake over night in the oven.

any help would be greatly appreciated! Hoping to get this together before Sunday so that it'll be ready for Sunday nighy 😃

It could be a chimney cake, which was originally wound over a dowel and baked over coals in a fire place all night long. Now they are made in tube pans.

But I'm guessing it is a filled cozonac dough, but I've never heard of one baking overnight.

So I google cozonac and it looks more like a babka and the keep calling it bread. But it does seem like a dough they fill and roll...

My uncle was a baker and the dough he taught me was a sweet babka type dough. He would roll it out and make three sheets that were about 4" inches across. Filling would be spread down the middle and the dough wrapped over to make filled 'ropes'. Each rope would have a different fruit. When the ropes were all complete they were wrapped and twisted together and fit into a tube pan. It has a long cooking time almost two hours. I could see making this in a dutch oven on coals and cooking it for a few hours. This is a pretty fancy version of flodni, but flodni isn't baked overnight either.

Can u tell me how to make that dough? I would try that.
Also I wouldn't be surprised if it was slightly different because it was how he saw his mother doing it when he was younger.

ETA: I googled flodni and it doesn't seem like how he described it.

Fladel or fludel. Hardly know how to pronounce or spell.
It was made with fruits and nuts for the second days of succos.

Fluden. My grandmother still makes this for sukkos. She uses dried fruit in the filling. I don't know how she makes the dough, but it's definitely more like a cookie than a bread or cake. Reminds me of biscotti, but baked in a round pan.

Here is a fig version. It doesn't bake that long, so it may not be the overnight thing you mean. I have never made this:

If you want to spend $26 you can have this on Kindle:

This came up on a search on Amazon for "fluden". They wanted to know if I meant "fladen".
