Walnut braid, the best
Dough:
400 grams of flour,
25 g of fresh yeast or 1 packet of dry yeast
125 g of milk,
60 g of butter,
40 grams of sugar,
1 egg.
feeling:
100 g ground walnuts (I always use walnuts, but hazelnuts or almonds are also great)
100 grams of sugar
100 g breadcrumbs,
1 teaspoon cocoa,
pinch of cinnamon,
possibly 1 flavoring of rum, at will
300 ml of milk.
Prepare a yeast dough with the ingredients for the dough and let it rise for an hour…
At the time of preparing the feeling.
Mix all the dry ingredients well in a bowl and pour over the boiling milk.
mix well…
Stretch the dough into a rectangle, spread evenly with your fingers and roll. Cut the roll in half lengthwise with a sharp knife and braid both parts.
Cover and let it sit for 30 minutes…
(The longer the better)..
Place a refractory container with water on the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to 180°C…
Bake the cake for about 30-40 minutes until it is golden brown on top. …try with a skewer if necessary…
Then I take about 100g of powdered sugar and mix it with 1-2 tablespoons of water, spread it on the hot cake and let it cool well.
Enjoy
