VASILOPITA (ORANGE SWEET BREAD)



Vasilopita (Orange Sweet Bread) image

This is a delicious orange sweet bread recipe that has been passed down in my family for several generations. It is a Greek tradition to serve this bread on New Year's morning. A coin is placed in the bread while baking, and when served, the person who finds the coin is said to have good luck for the year. It still makes a wonderful breakfast bread to be served anytime! The aroma that fills your home while baking this recipe is heavenly! It is an all-day process to make this bread, but it is worth it! For Greeks, this is a bread version of Vasilopita, not the dessert cake variety.

Time 5h46m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup orange juice
½ cup water
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 (.25 ounce) packages rapid-rise yeast
2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted margarine (such as Fleischmann's®), melted
4 eggs
1 orange, zested
7 cups bread flour, or more as needed
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 coins wrapped in aluminum foil
1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Mix orange juice, water, and cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until the mixture registers 110 degrees F (43 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir yeast into the orange juice mixture. Let stand until yeast is creamy and frothy, about 45 minutes.
  • Combine sugar and margarine in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until creamy. Add eggs; beat on high speed for 30 seconds. Mix in yeast mixture and orange zest until well combined.
  • Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add gradually to the mixture in the stand mixer, mixing with a bread hook until a soft, sticky dough forms, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a large glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 round cake pans.
  • Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Put 1 wrapped coin in each piece; knead for 2 to 3 minutes and shape into a ball. Place 1 ball of dough in each cake pan. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise until puffy, 2 to 4 hours more.
  • Whisk egg white and vanilla together in a small bowl. Brush over the top of dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs attached, 30 to 55 minutes.

VASILOPITA (NEW YEAR BREAD)



Vasilopita (New Year Bread) image

Greek New Year Bread is traditionally cut at midnight on New Year's Eve. After baking, a coin is inserted through a slit in the base. The person who finds the coin will have luck in the New Year. Long ago the coin used to be a gold one, then later a silver coin was used. These could be incorporated into the dough before baking. Nowadays because of the nickel content of coins it is undesirable to bake a coin in the cake. From: "The Complete Middle East Cookbook" by Tess Mallos ISBN: 1 86302 069 1
