Easter cake with nuts and dried fruits

Kulich is Easter bread, without which it is simply impossible to imagine a festive table. I propose to cook together with me a traditional kulich from yeast dough.

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 19
In order to emphasize the taste of dried fruits, soak them for 24 hours in alcohol (preferably in cognac / rum). The next day, remove the dried fruits from the liquid and lay them on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
step 2 out of 19
Let's prepare the dough. First heat the milk to 40 degrees and pour it into a deep bowl. Then add yeast and mix well. Add granulated sugar and pre-sifted flour and mix well again.
step 3 out of 19
Cover the container with cling film and put in a warm place for 40 minutes. You can also put the dough in an oven preheated to 40 degrees.
step 4 out of 19
After a while, the dough should approximately double.
step 5 out of 19
To prepare the dough, beat 3 eggs into a bowl, then separate the yolks from 3 more eggs (use the whites for the glaze). Add granulated sugar and salt and beat until fluffy.
step 6 out of 19
Then gently add the matched dough into the egg mixture and mix well.
step 7 out of 19
Add some of the flour and knead the dough. Then add the orange zest and stir again thoroughly. After that, add a little more flour and knead the dough with a spoon until the moment possible.
step 8 out of 19
Transfer the dough to a floured table and knead, adding the remaining flour.
step 9 out of 19
Add lightly melted butter and stir into the dough (this will take at least 15 minutes).
step 10 out of 19
Place the dough in a deep bowl greased with vegetable oil. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for several hours.
step 11 out of 19
The dough should rise 2-3 times.
step 12 out of 19
Next, transfer the dough to a work surface, add dried fruits and knead until the dried fruits are distributed equally throughout the dough.
step 13 out of 19
Divide the resulting mass into molds, filling them by one third. Then let the dough rest in a warm place under a towel for 40 minutes.
step 14 out of 19
We send the matched dough into an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 30-50 minutes.
step 15 out of 19
To check if the cakes are baked, use a toothpick: if it is dry, then the products are ready. Pay attention to the top: if it burns, cover the product with foil.
step 16 out of 19
Now let's do the icing. To avoid burning, cook it in a water bath. To do this, take a saucepan filled with water, put it on fire and bring to a boil.Then, reducing the heat, place a container (larger diameter) with proteins and sugar in the saucepan. Beat this mixture until stiff peaks.
step 17 out of 19
Spread the tops of the cooled cakes with the resulting glaze.
step 18 out of 19
Use a knife or pastry spatula to create unusual bumps and patterns.
step 19 out of 19
Next, burn the glaze with a burner or a lighter with a large torch until a caramel shade appears. The final stage is the decor of your choice.
Our handsome men are ready. I congratulate you on Happy Easter!
