A delicious and nice recipe for baking sweet Christmas buns. It's beautiful on your Christmas table and they got a really nice flavor.
Another Christmas recipe and this time Sweet Christmas bread! Flavored with a dash of orange through the dough and sprinkled with pearl sugar.
The recipe for the dough I found on the blog of Levine. A Dutch blog where I am a fan of many years and which contains many baking recipes (Levine specializes in recipes for bread and buns).
- During the first and second rise cover your dough with a damp towel and then with a plastic foil. This way your dough stays moist during the rise periods.
- Brush the rolls with egg before baking, so you get a beautiful brown and shiny top.
- When baking this it's crucial to measure and weigh your ingredients carefully for a great result.
- You want your bread to become airy so you add yeast. But yeast can be killed by salt, so keep it as far apart as possible when adding the ingredients. You can also choose to knead the dough for a few minutes before adding the salt.
