Yeast braid recipe: How to bake the Easter wreath with jam

  • For the dough,

    crumble the yeast (if you use a cube of yeast) and stir it with half of the sugar and the warm water until smooth.

  • Sift the flour into a bowl and form a small hollow in the middle.

    Pour the yeast-sugar mixture into the well and stir it with a little flour.

    Now sprinkle a little more flour over it and cover it and let it rest in a warm place for about 10 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, melt the butter on the lowest setting and let it cool down a little.

    Also carefully warm the milk to 37 ° C.

  • Now mix in the remaining sugar, salt, flour and yeast mixture, milk and eggs.

    Add the lukewarm butter and knead everything for about 10 minutes by hand or with the dough hook of the food processor at medium speed until the dough loosens from the edge of the bowl.

  • Shape the dough into a ball and leave it to rise, covered airtight, for about an hour.

    Then knead the dough briefly on a floured surface and roll it out into a 40 x 60 cm rectangle.

  • Spread the jam on the pastry and roll it up from the long side.

    Place the roll with the fold down and cut it lengthways.

    Loop both strands of dough around each other and shape them into a wreath.

    Alternatively, you can divide the dough into thirds and braid it.

  • Place the yeast wreath on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let it rise for another half an hour, covered with cling film.

  • Preheat the oven to 160 ° C fan oven.

    Bake the Easter wreath for 35 to 45 minutes until it is nice and golden brown.

    Cover with a sheet of baking paper after 35 minutes so that it doesn't turn too brown.

  • For the topping,

    squeeze out the limes and stir the juice with the powdered sugar until smooth.

    Spread the icing on the cooled Easter wreath and sprinkle it with the dried flowers as desired.

  • Shelf life of yeast pastries
