Time 5h

Yield Makes 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (from two 1/4-ounce envelopes)
1 cup whole milk
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened, plus more for bowl
3 large eggs, lightly beaten, plus 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 oranges, zested, plus 2 tablespoons juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 to 3 cups bread flour
10 Red Easter Eggs For Greek Easter Bread

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment; whisk on low speed to combine. Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it registers 110 degrees. With mixer speed on medium-low, gradually add milk to mixer bowl, scraping down sides if necessary. Mix until combined. Remove bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand until bubbling, about 30 minutes.
  • Generously butter a large bowl; set aside. Return mixer bowl to stand and attach dough hook. Mix in lightly beaten eggs, in 3 additions, on medium speed. Add remaining all-purpose flour and salt and mix until incorporated. Add butter, orange zest and juice, and vanilla, mixing until combined. Gradually mix in 2 cups bread flour, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary; then add enough remaining bread flour to form a soft, slightly sticky dough that pulls away from the side of bowl. Increase speed to medium-high and mix until dough is very smooth, about 8 minutes. Form dough into a ball, place in buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until 1 1/2 times its original size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Line two 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Punch down dough. Cut dough in half with a large knife or bench scraper, then cut each half into 3 equal pieces. Keeping 3 pieces covered with plastic wrap, roll remaining 3 pieces into 16-inch-long ropes with your hands. (If dough becomes dry, lightly dampen your palms to help in rolling.) Loosely braid ropes together, pinch ends to seal, and place loaf diagonally on 1 baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining 3 pieces of dough. Loosely cover each loaf with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Transfer baking sheets to oven and bake bread 10 minutes. Remove 1 baking sheet from oven. Quickly and carefully push 5 eggs, larger side down, into the center of the loaf, spacing them evenly down the length. Brush with egg wash and immediately return to oven. Repeat with remaining loaf. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake, rotating baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until loaves are deep golden and sound hollow when tapped on bottom, about 25 minutes more. (If necessary, cover with parchment-lined foil to prevent overbrowning.) Transfer bread to a wire rack; let cool completely.

TSOUREKI (GREEK EASTER SWEET BREAD)



Tsoureki (Greek Easter Sweet Bread) image

This is a traditional Easter bread served in Greece to break the Lenten fast. It is traditionally braided, with a red-dyed*, hard-boiled egg inserted at one end, and then baked. Beautiful to look at - delicious to eat. Like many yeast breads, these loaves require two risings, so take that into consideration when timing to make them. I like to eat it most at breakfast, with a piece of graviera (a Greek cheese resembling Swiss) and a huge glass of ice-cold milk. A bite of tsoureki; a nibble of cheese; a swallow of cold milk - heaven!!!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h20m

Yield 3 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups milk
2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
8 -9 cups bread flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup almonds, very finely chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 orange, zest of, grated
2 teaspoons finely ground anise seed or 1 tablespoon mahlepi
1 teaspoon ground masticha (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted
5 eggs, very well beaten
1 egg yolk
2 -3 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Warm two cups of milk and place in a large bowl. Add the yeast, one cup of the flour, and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Cover and proof for one hour.
  • In a large bowl, combine seven cups of flour, the ground almonds, salt, remaining sugar, orange rind, aniseed or mahlepi and masticha (if using). Make a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter and eggs. Work from the center outwards, bringing flour into the well, stirring the mixture until a dough begins to form.
  • Dust a worksurface with a little of the remaining flour and knead, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and doesn't stick to your hands, about 12 minutes.
  • Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and set aside in a warm, draft-free place to rise until doubled in bulk, about two hours. Punch down dough.
  • Divide into nine small balls and roll each into strips 10-12 inches long, and about 2 inches in diameter. Lay three strips side by side, pinching together at one end, and braid. Pinch together at the other end to hold the loaf intact.
  • Optional: At this point you can press a red-dyed egg between the strips of the braid or just leave the braided loaf plain.
  • Repeat the procedure to make the second and third loaves.
  • Place the breads on parchment-lined baking sheets, covered, and let rise for two hours, or until doubled in bulk. While the braids are rising, preheat oven to 340F (170°C), placing rack in middle rack of oven.
  • Beat together the egg yolk and remaining milk. Brush over tsoureki loaves and sprinkle with slivered almonds.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. I check my breads after about 15 minutes as they do tend to colour quickly and drape them with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning. The bread should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove and cool on racks.
  • *The special red dye used by Greeks to dye Easter eggs, as well as the spices Mahlepi (Mahleb) and Masticha can be found at all good ethnic grocery stores and in the Penzeys Catalague.

Time 2h25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ cups milk
1 cup sugar
¼ cup sweet butter
1 teaspoon yeast
8 cups unbleached bread flour, or more as needed
4 eggs
1 egg white
1 cup chopped blanched almonds
1 pound chopped dried apricots
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon mahlepi
1 egg yolk
¼ cup milk
½ cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Combine milk, sugar, and butter in a saucepan over low heat and warm to 112 degrees F (44 degrees C). Remove from heat. Stir in yeast and wait for mixture to bubble.
  • Place flour in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture, whole eggs, egg white, chopped almonds, apricots, orange zest and juice, lemon zest, and mahlepi. Mix together. Knead dough until well mixed, adding extra flour if necessary until dough is only slightly sticky. Set dough aside until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Combine egg yolk and 1/4 cup milk in a bowl and place in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Knead risen dough to expel bubbles and divide into 2 equal parts. Divide each half into 3 equal balls. Roll each ball into a rope about 18 inches long. Braid 3 ropes to make a loaf and tuck the ends underneath and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 ropes to form a second loaf. Brush egg yolk mixture on top of each loaf and sprinkle with slivered almonds. Brush again with egg yolk mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until loaves are brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 40 minutes.

TSOUREKI RECIPE (TRADITIONAL GREEK EASTER BREAD)



Tsoureki recipe (Traditional Greek Easter bread) image

A traditional Greek Easter Bread (Tsoureki) recipe! Discover all the secrets behind making the fluffiest, tastiest traditional Tsoureki with this step by step, no fail recipe!

Provided by Eli K. Giannopoulos

Categories     Bread

Time 5h35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

24g dry yeast (0.85 oz.)
110g lukewarm water (3.9 oz.)
3g ground mastic (0.1 oz.) (buy online in Australia, UK, US/CA)
10g ground mahleb (0.35 oz.) (buy online UK, US/CA)
135g butter, from cow's milk, at room temperature (4.7 oz.)
230g sugar (8.1 oz.)
150g milk, at room temperature (5.3 oz.)
4 medium eggs, at room temperature (200g/ 7 oz. without their shells)
870g strong white (bread) flour (30.6 oz.)
zest of 1 orange
1 egg and 1 tbsp water
almond slivers
150g sugar (3.5 oz.)
150g water (3.5 oz.)

Steps:

  • To prepare this tsoureki recipe (Greek Easter Bread), add in a bowl the lukewarm water, a pinch of sugar and yeast and stir. Wrap well with plastic wrap and set aside for about 6-7 minutes, until the yeast rises and starts bubbling. Be careful not do add hot water, as it will kill the yeast, nor cold, as it will take forever for the Greek Easter bread to rise. The water should be at the same temperature as your finger, so check it out sticking one finger in; you should feel no difference in temperature.
  • Use a pestle or a blender to ground the masticha and mahlepi, along with a pinch of sugar and set aside. These aromatic spices will give Greek Easter bread its distinctive taste and amazing smell. But be careful not to add any more mastic than this tsoureki recipe calls for, as it will leave a slightly bitter taste to your Greek Easter bread.
  • In a saucepan add the butter, sugar and milk. Place over very low heat and stir the mixture, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. The key is to melt the butter at very low heat, so that the temperature doesn't 'kill' the yeast. Remove the pan from the stove and check the temperature. The mixture should be lukewarm - the same temperature as your finger. If it is warmer, leave to cool down for a few minutes and check again.
  • Pour the butter mixture in a large bowl and whisk in the eggs. Add the yeast mixture and whisk to combine.
  • In the mixer's bowl add the flour, the ground mastic and mahlepi, orange zest and the butter-egg-yeast mixture from step 4. Using the dough hook mix at first at low speed, until the ingredients start to combine and then mix at medium-high speed for about 15 minutes, until the dough doesn't stick on the sides of the bowl. At this point the dough should be really soft, like seen in the picture and a little sticky. (Be careful not to add any more flour than this tsoureki recipe calls for, as the dough should be really soft and not firm).
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place in a warm environment, until at least it doubles in size (about 3-4 hours). If the environment is cold, preheat the oven at 30C/85F, turn it off and place the bowl inside.
  • Gently deflate the tsoureki dough with your hands and cut in 6 equal portions (three for each Greek Easter bread). Take one piece of the dough (do not flour the working surface!) and roll it a little with your hands. Hold with your hands from the edges and shake to stretch the dough into a rope. This technique will help the Greek Easter bread (tsoureki) form the characteristic stringy texture, as seen in the picture.
  • Form the Greek Easter bread into a braid and transfer on a large baking tray layered with parchment paper. Repeat the same procedure with the second tsoureki. Let the Greek Easter bread rise for about 1 more hour at room temperature or in the oven, until it puffs up and almost doubles in size, like in the pictures.
  • In a small bowl add the egg and 1 tbsp water and whisk with a fork. Brush the top of each Greek Easter bread with the egg, being careful not to deflate it, garnish with almond slivers and bake in preheated oven at 150C / 310F fan for about 30-40 minutes, until nicely browned and fluffy. If its getting too brown too quickly cover with some parchment paper and continue baking.
  • Although the traditional tsoureki recipe doesn't call for syrup, garnishing Greek Easter bread with just a little syrup, always gives a little something! So it's up to you to decide! Prepare the syrup for the Greek Easter bread just right before you turn the tsoureki out of the oven. In a small pot add the sugar and water and bring to the boil. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove the pot from the stove and ladle the hot syrup over the hot tsoureki.
  • Let the Greek Easter bread cool down and wrap well with plastic wrap, so that it doesn't become hard and dry. Store for up to a 5-6 days at room temperature or up to a couple of months in the freezer.

TSOUREKI BALLS



Tsoureki Balls image

This is a method I devised to use up any leftover dry,stale tsourekia after the excesses of Greek Easter. Note that it can used with any rich sweet bread like challah or brioche too although the flavour will be slightly different. I have suggested some variations so feel free to improvise with whatever you have on hand.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 30-40 balls, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 cups sweet bread crumbs (use any leftover tsourekia)
1 cup coconut (plus extra coconut for rolling the balls in)
1 cup ground almonds (I buy flaked and grind them)
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • To get the tsoureki crumbs, slice any dry tsoureki loaf you may have or any leftover pieces, chop and then grind it in a small chopper until you have 6 cups which you place in a large bowl.
  • Add the almonds and coconut and mix well.
  • Add the condensed milk and mix carefully, you should have a moist mixture which easily sticks together, if it is too wet add more crumbs.
  • Make small balls and roll in coconut.
  • Variations: You can add some finely chopped glace fruits or fruit peel.
  • Hazelnut meal can be used instead of almond meal.
  • You can roll the balls in white sprinkles or dip them in white chocolate instead of the coconut.
