I've been spending most of my week-end baking since the first 'Bread from lesson 2'. It is so addictive! (but I love it).
Here is the bread I tried* on sunday night and it turned out great. The recipe is from Emeril (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/three-tiered-braided-christmas-bread-recipe/index.html).
Here is the dough before the final rise:
- 500g all purpose flour
- 80g ground almond
- 20 cl evaporated milk
- 6 eggs room temperature
- 250g sugar
- Powdered sugar
- 125g butter
- 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp of salt
Heat milk. Add the butter, sugar and salt. Stir until all is dissolved. When cooled, add yeast.
I've never made bread dough and always thought it required a special gift to make. After hours of browsing, I finally found this great website and decided to give a try. Lesson 1 gave me the basics about the ingradients. That made me jump straight to lesson 2 to officially break the ice.
This is the rising dough :
The result was great!
