Recipe's preparation

    Bread
  1. In a small bowl place 100g of milk (lukewarm), yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and 3 tsp flour.


    Mix with a fork until yeast has dissolved then place in warm spot for 10 minutes until


    you see bubbles forming. (Place in an oven on the lowest setting when weather is


    cold)


    Place sugar in bowl along with mastiha and mahlepi and mill for 1 minute on speed 10.


    Add remaining ingredients except the flour and cook for 3 minutes at 37ºC on speed 6.


    Add the yeast mixture and flour and mix for 5 seconds on speed 6.


    Set dial to closed lid position and knead for 2-3 minutes until dough is formed.


    Can add a small amount of extra flour if needed but dough needs to be slightly sticky.


    Place in bread mat or bowl with glad wrap and put in warm place until dough has doubled in size.


    Form dough into plaits (makes about 10, depending on size wanted) and baste with egg.


    Can add flaked almonds on top at this point if you like. Allow to rise for


    10 minutes or longer for better rise then place in a cold oven, turn to 180ºC for approx. 30 minutes or until golden brown.

    Nitsa: Hi Nitsa, I would use a teaspoon of each. The mahlepi may need to be milled with some flour so that the small amount will mill effectively. Hope that helps. x

    This is an amazing recipe! Next time I will use less sugar though as it’s excessively sweet for us. Thanks for sharing!

    Happy new year Xronia Polla.

    Helen I have to say I thought my mothers Tsoureki was the bomb..........Until

    I made yours! OMG even my 83 year old mother ( who never likes anything ) mentioned how good it was. As good as hers only to be corrected by my children claiming it was Better!.

    Thank you so much, what used to take me hours of prep and clean up took no more than 15 Minutes - bonus it was so much better than the ones I used to make.  THANK YOU THANK YOU.
