Kolach Bread
Ingredients
8 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 lb. butter (1 stick)
3 egg yolks
2 cups milk ( lukewarm )
1 packet of yeast
1 tbs. Lemon zest (to taste)
STEP 1 "Prepare the Yeast"
Into a measuring cup or small bowl, mix the yeast with a teaspoon of sugar and about a half cup of the "lukewarm" milk. Set aside. This activates the yeast.
STEP 2 "Mix eggs and milk"
Into a medium mixing bowl, beat the 3 egg yolks and then add the rest of the lukewarm milk. Mix well. Set aside.
STEP 3 "Mix dry ingredients with butter"
Into a large mixing bowl, add the sugar and salt to 8 cups of sifted flour.
Add about a tablespoon of lemon zest and equal amount of lemon juice. ( More or less to taste.)
Add the butter, mix with your hands (as for a pie crust) until the butter is well mixed with the flour and has a real fine texture.
STEP 4 "Make the dough"
Combine the beaten "egg & milk - mixture" and the "activated yeast" to the flour mixture. Beat the dough until it comes clean from the bowl.
STEP 5 "Knead and Rise" (Twice)
Form the dough into a ball and place into a large clean bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Set aside and let rise for about 2 hours. The dough will more than double in size.
Once the dough rises, remove from the rising bowl and place on a lightly floured counter top or kneading board. Knead the dough. (For about five minutes or so.)
Again form the dough into a ball and place in the bowl, covered with a damp cloth. Set aside and let it rise. This time, it takes about 1 hour.
STEP 6 "Make the Braid & Cross"
( While the dough rises for the second time, lets make the braid and cross. )
Into a medium mixing bowl, add 3/4 cups water to 2 cups flour and a pinch of salt. Mix well into a workable dough, until smooth.
Make a braid and cross. (or a braided cross or other decretive items for the top of your "Slava" bread)
When dough has raised the second time, place it on a large greased baking sheet. (Using baking "parchment paper" is optional.)
Attach the cross and braid on the bread by ether a dab of water or egg.
(An egg wash on the top of the bread is optional.)
STEP 7 "Bake"
In a preheated oven.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
