Sweet bread with cold risen dough, filled with chocolate and Turkish delight Who doesn't love a freshly baked sweet bread with a rich and aromatic filling? Sweet bread is a symbol of holidays and moments of joy spent with loved ones. Today, I present to you a recipe for sweet bread with cold risen dough, filled with chocolate and Turkish delight, that will turn any meal into a true feast of flavors. Preparation time: 30 minutes Rising time: 4-24 hours (depending on preferences) Baking time: 45-60 minutes Number of servings: 2 large sweet breads Ingredients: For the dough: - 700 g flour (or as needed) - 20 g fresh yeast - 200 ml warm milk - 150 g sugar - 2 eggs - 1 pinch of salt - vanilla essence (1-2 tablespoons, to taste) - 100 g butter at room temperature - 5 tablespoons oil For the filling: - 120 g milk chocolate - 2 rum chocolates (88 g each) - 2 tablespoons water - 50 g sugar - 30 g cocoa - 50 g butter at room temperature - 300 g Turkish delight, diced For brushing: - 2 egg yolks - 2 tablespoons milk - 2 tablespoons sugar Preparation: 1. Sifting the flour: Start by sifting the 700 g of flour into a large bowl. This step is essential to aerate the flour and achieve a fluffy dough. In a separate bowl, crumble the fresh yeast and mix it with half of the warm milk until completely dissolved. 2. Mixing the ingredients: Pour the yeast mixture over the flour. Add the eggs, salt (make sure to keep it away from the yeast to avoid destroying it), vanilla essence, and start kneading. As you knead, add the remaining milk and flour as needed until the dough becomes homogeneous. 3. Incorporating the butter: Once the dough becomes less sticky, add the soft butter at room temperature. Continue kneading until the dough pulls away from your hands and the bowl, forming a large smooth ball. If the dough is still sticky, add a little oil and knead again. 4. Cold rising: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. If you have time, leave it for up to 24 hours. This cold rising process will give the sweet bread a more intense flavor and a fluffier texture. 5. Preparing the filling: While waiting for the dough to rise, you can prepare the filling. Break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a saucepan. Add the two tablespoons of water and melt the chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, add the sugar, cocoa, and butter, mixing well until you achieve a smooth cream. 6. Preparing the Turkish delight: Cut the Turkish delight into equal-sized cubes to distribute evenly in the sweet bread. 7. Shaping the sweet breads: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured work surface. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Spread one part with half of the chocolate cream and sprinkle the diced Turkish delight here and there. Carefully roll the dough and transfer it to a greased baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process with the other part of the dough. 8. Final rising: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cover the sweet breads with plastic wrap and then with a clean towel, allowing them to rise for about 30-45 minutes. 9. Brushing and baking: Before placing them in the oven, mix the egg yolks with the milk and sugar and brush the sweet breads with this mixture. The sweet breads are now ready to bake! Place the trays in the oven and let them bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and pass the toothpick test. 10. Cooling and serving: Once the sweet breads are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the tray for 10-15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Helpful tips: - Calories: A slice of sweet bread contains approximately 350-400 calories, depending on the thickness of the slices and the filling chosen. - Nutritional benefits: Sweet bread is rich in carbohydrates, providing instant energy, but consumed in moderation, it is a good choice for festive moments. - Flavor enhancements: You can add ground nuts or raisins to the filling for a richer texture and taste. - Serving: These sweet breads can be served alongside a cup of tea or coffee, and for an extra touch of flavor, try pairing them with vanilla cream or chocolate-flavored ice cream. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast? Yes, you can use dry yeast. Use approximately 7 g of dry yeast to replace fresh yeast. 2. Is it necessary to leave the dough in the refrigerator? Cold rising improves the texture and flavor of the dough, but if you don't have time, you can let the dough rise at room temperature. 3. How can I tell if the sweet breads are well baked? The sweet breads are ready when they turn golden brown on top and, if you tap them lightly on the bottom, they sound hollow. This sweet bread with chocolate and Turkish delight is a recipe that not only combines tradition with modernity but also offers the opportunity to experiment in the kitchen. Let your imagination soar and don't hesitate to personalize your sweet breads! So, I invite you to try this recipe, enjoy every step, and surprise your guests with an unforgettable dessert. Enjoy your meal!
