Braided Egg Bread

Bread braided with a buttery chocolate filling. Soft, airy bread with a charming shape and joyful chocolatey flavor to impress after the first bite.

As I currently have a little time, I was searching on the internet a few days ago. Looking for fresh, exciting ideas, inspiring recipes that I have never tasted before, to treat my loved ones with. Hunting for a long time yet could not come across lots of interesting things. Just before I thought to give up on it, I discovered this fabulous and easy treat by chance on Suncakemom. It seemed so yummy on its photo, it required urgent actions.

It absolutely was not so difficult to imagine just how it’s made, its taste and just how much my husband will enjoy it. Actually, it is extremely simple to impress the man when it comes to cakes. Anyways, I got into the site and used the precise instuctions that had been accompanied by superb photographs of the operation. It really makes life less difficult. I can imagine that it is a slight hassle to take pics down the middle of baking in the kitchen as you ordinarily have sticky hands and so i sincerely appreciate the effort and time she put in to make this blogpost and recipe easily followed.

With that in mind I am inspired to present my personal recipes in a similar fashion. Appreciate your the thought.

I had been tweaking the original formula to make it for the taste of my loved ones. I have to say it turned out an awesome outcome. They enjoyed the flavour, the overall look and enjoyed having a sweet like this during a busy week. They quite simply requested even more, more and more. So next time I’m not going to make the same mistake. I am going to twin the volume .

The origanal Braided Bread is from SunCakeMom

Base

Dissolve fresh yeast in lukewarm milk.

In a medium size mixing bowl add flour, butter, vanilla extract, honey and the eggs.

Pour yeasty milk on top of the flour mixture.

Knead it until it’s even and the dough is off the side of the mixing bowl.

Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place for an hour to raise.

After an hour take the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface.

Divide it into 6 equal pieces.

Make dough balls out of them.

Find a warm place aside to place them not too close to each other, and cover them with a kitchen towel for another half an hour to raise more.

Filling

Put dice butter and put it in a mixing bowl with the cocoa powder and the honey.

Whisk them together until butter gets a creamy, easy to spread texture.

Assembly

Then start working with the first dough-ball. Place it on a well-floured surface and strew it in the size of the baking tray with a help of a rolling pin.

Spread 1/6 of the chocolate cream evenly on top.

Roll the dough into a log.

Repeat the same process with the other dough-balls as well.

Braid three logs together and place the braided bread on one side of the tray.

Repeat it with the other three logs as well.

When both bread is in the tray cover them with a kitchen towel and leave it in a warm place for another 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.

Break an egg and mix it with a drop of honey and vanilla extract.

Brush egg on top of the bread before putting it into the preheated oven.

Leave it in the oven for half an hour or until the top is golden brown.
