Recuerdo

Everything was so perfect… the simple premonition of some sweet breads and three recuerdos on my purse… ;)

Sweet breads

Serves 12:

100 g flour
150 g bread flour
15 g fresh yeast
62.5 g sugar
3.5 g salt
¼ lemon zest
50 ml water
12.5 ml milk, warm
50 g egg
50 g butter, soft

Sieve the flours.
Combine 50 g of flour and 5 g of yeast (dissolved in the milk) and 25 ml of water.
Mix well with the dough hook.
Cover and bulk ferment the dough until nearly doubled (30 minutes).
Combine sugar, yeast and salt dissolved in the remaining water, lemon zest, egg and remaining flour.
Mix well with the previous dough.
Gradually add the butter while mixing.
Divide dough in 50 g balls.
Place the dough on a linen baking sheet. Proof, covered, until the dough springs back very slowly to the touch (30 minutes).
Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC.
Brush with egg yolk.
Bake for 15 minutes.

Sprinkle with sugar, almonds or fill with pastry cream.

    These breads look very brioche like. Are they? In Brazil, they made a sweet bread that was so good. This recipe reminds me of that. Your pictures are so beautiful…
