To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can cook tsoureki the one and a half using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Tsoureki the one and a half:
  1. Get 500 g bread flour
  2. Take 150 g honey
  3. Get 150 g water
  4. Prepare 150 g butter (100 + 50 for the end)
  5. Prepare orange zest
  6. Take 15 g yeast
  7. Get 10 g mahlab
  8. Make ready 2 vanillins (powder)
  9. Prepare 1.5 g mastic
  10. Get 2 eggs

I squeezed and mixed and folded alright, following that marvellous recipe to the letter. Except for the baking paper to be placed on top (woe is me, my Tsoureki got, well, rather dark). One hour, two hours, two hours and a half and nothing. Put the flour, yeast, salt, butter and sugar into a large bowl.

Steps to make Tsoureki the one and a half:
  1. Put the water and the yeast with 2 tbsp of flour in the mixer and cover on top with the rest (we let it rise).
  2. In a small pot heat the honey, 100 gr butter, the zest, the mahlab, the vanillins and the mastic, until the butter melts, don't brown, just heat.
  3. Next, remove from heat, add the eggs and all of that into the mixer bowl. Mix at low speed until the mixture doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl.
  4. If it keeps sticking after 20 minutes add a tbsp of flour. Finally add the rest of the butter (50 gr) and beat for a few more minutes in the mixer.
  5. Cover with a plastic wrap and let it rest for about 1,5 to 2 hours at room temperature until they double.
  6. When they rise, shape your tsourekia, place them on baking paper and let them rise for an additional 30 to 60 minutes.
  7. Brush with a bit of egg white and bake at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Add the mastic powder, mahlab and cinnamon, then the orange zest. Pour in half the water and milk and mix together briefly, then. One of my favorite weeks was when we would bake Tsoureki, a sweet Greek bread traditionally served at Easter. I would spend the days in the blasting hot kitchen in the breeze of convection ovens, kneading and braiding the loaves, painting them with an egg wash, dotting them with sesame seeds, watching them rise, and monitoring their baking, so. You may sprinkle some flour to help this stretching process to avoid sticky dough onto the bench.
