   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Dough:
      2/3           cup  warm whole milk -- (105F to 110F)
   1         tablespoon  granulated sugar -- (12 g)
   2 1/4            tsp  active dry yeast -- (0.25-oz or 8 g)
   3 1/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- divided, (406 g)
      1/4           cup  unsalted butter -- melted, (57 g)
   2              large  eggs
   1           teaspoon  kosher salt -- (3 g)
   4 1/2    tablespoons  blackberry preserves
   1              large  egg -- lightly beaten

This one is a show-stopper. Before you think you can't do it, take a 
look at our Step-by-Step Jam Star Guide. See? Not as difficult as you 
thought. Just use our Basic Pull-Apart Bread Dough, and Quick 
Blackberry-Blueberry Jam recipe to get started.

Makes 1 (9") round star

Dough:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 
combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand until mixture is 
foamy, about 10 minutes.

With mixer running on low speed, add 1 cup (125 g) flour, beating 
just until combined. Add melted butter and 1/2 cup (63 g) flour, 
beating until combined. Beat in eggs. Gradually add salt and 
remaining 1 3/4 cups (218 g) flour, beating until a soft dough forms. 
(Dough will be sticky.)

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning 
to grease top. Loosely cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place 
(75F) until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough. Punch dough down, and 
gently shape into a ball. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, and shape each into a ball. Roll 
first ball into a 9 1/2" circle, and place on a sheet of parchment 
paper on a baking sheet. Press a 9" round cake pan over dough to make 
an indention that will serve as your guide. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons 
jam onto dough, being careful to stay inside the impression you 
created with the pan. Roll second ball of dough into a 9 1/2" circle 
(it doesn't have to be perfect - the edges will be trimmed), and 
place on top of the first jam layer. Make another indention with cake 
pan, and spread with 1 1/2 tablespoons jam. Roll third ball into a 9 
1/2" circle, and repeat procedure. Roll fourth ball into a 9 1/2" 
circle, and place on top. Mark the edge with the cake pan, and trim 
around edges of all four layers with a sharp paring knife, discarding 
excess dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until 
slightly firm, 20 to 30 minutes.

Mark the center of the circle, and make a 2 1/2" diameter indention 
around it with a round cutter or measuring cup. Using a paring knife, 
make 16 cuts equidistant from the outer edge of the inner circle to 
the edge of the large circle, cutting through all four layers. Take 
two adjacent strips, and twist them away from each other twice. Use 
your finger to seal the inner seam. Turn the outer corners under, and 
press to seal. Repeat with all remaining strips. Cover loosely with 
plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350F. Uncover, and brush star with beaten egg, and 
bake until golden and puffed, 23 to 30 minutes.

Question: This Star is truly a star! It was the hit of the party. 
Question: can it be fully assembled and refrigerated overnight, 
brought to room temp for an hour and then baked so it will be warm 
for morning service?
Response: Thank you for reaching out! We are glad to hear it was the 
hit of the party! Yes, that should be fine to do to have it warm for 
your morning service- just will not be as fresh as it would be if it 
were baked right after.
