Sunday – Plaited bread with cream

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 500 g flour
• ½ cube of yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• ½ tbsp salt
• 250 ml milk
• 125 ml cream
• 1 egg(s)

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 40 minutes

Gently warm the milk, cream, and sugar (but not more than lukewarm, otherwise the yeast will die), remove from the heat, add the yeast, and stir until melted. Mix the flour and salt, then add the liquid and knead until the dough is nice and soft and supple. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours (you may want to preheat the oven to 50 degrees Celsius, turn it off, and then place the dough in the bowl). Then shape it into a nice braid, place it on a baking sheet, brush with egg, and let it rise again in the cold (in the refrigerator or outside) for about 1 hour. Then bake in the preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius for about 30-35 minutes and enjoy while still warm!
