Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 500 grams Pastry flour
- 1 cube Yeast (42 grams)
- ¼ l lukewarm milk
- 60 grams sugar
- 2 eggs
- 60 grams butter
- 1 pinch salt
- Pastry flour (for dusting)
- 100 grams chopped Hazelnuts
- 1 organic Orange (zested)
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 Tbsps Orange marmalade
Preparation steps
Mound flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble yeast into well in flour, pour in lukewarm milk and mix with 1 tablespoon sugar and a bit of flour. Cover bowl and let stand for about 20 minutes. Cut butter into pieces, stir into flour mixture with eggs and salt and knead to a smooth dough. Continue kneading until dough pulls away from bowl, adding more flour if necessary. Cover dough and let rise for about 45 minutes.
Toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet until fragrant, let cool and mix with orange zest.
Preheat oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
Thoroughly knead dough on a floured work surface and knead in hazelnut mixture. Divide dough into thirds and shape each portion into a rope about 40 cm long (approximately 16 inches long). Press dough ropes together in the middle, braid outwards to both ends and firmly press ends together. Place braided loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover and let rise for about 15 minutes. Mix egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water and brush over bread. Bake until bread tests done with a toothpick, about 45 minutes.
Remove bread from oven and brush with orange marmalade while still warm. Allow bread to cool and cut into slices to serve.
