Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 cups bread flour (king arthur)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast (fleischman's)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon ground aniseed (plus whole anise seed for decoration, if you like)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large eggs (plus 3 dyed easter eggs for decoration, if you like)
- 1 egg yolk (whisked with 1 tablespoon water for glaze)
Recipe
- 1 place the milk, 2 cups of flour, and yeast in the bread machine pan and process on the dough setting. (mine takes around 1.5 hours).
- 2 while the machine is working (no rush here - you have plenty of time) mix the other 2 cups of flour with the sugar, salt, orange zest, and the anise seed. (i couldn't find ground anise seed so i ground some up in my blender. a coffee grinder would work as well).
- 3 once the dough cycle is completed, add the flour mixture, olive oil, and eggs. process again on the dough setting. (another 1.5 hours! but for me, this is preferable to doing it by hand. my handmade dough ends up like a brick).
- 4 once the second cycle is completed, remove the dough to a well-floured surface. punch down and form into a ball. (this is easy! i was scared because this is where i get into trouble - i tend to overwork things. look it up on youtube if you don't know how: http://youtu.be/5hw38bn-hni).
- 5 cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes. (i left it on the counter top and covered it with paper towels).
- 6 now, divide the dough into three parts. roll each piece into a rope and braid, working from the center to the ends. pinch the ends together and turn under. (once again, if you don't know how: http://youtu.be/yr6aiah2vt8 and if you don't feel like braiding it at all - i won't tell. it tastes wonderful no matter what the shape).
- 7 embed the dyed eggs (optional) in the folds of the braid. cover and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk - about 1 hour.
- 8 meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees f. (note: mine came out a little dark on top so i'm gonna try 350 degrees next time.) once the dough has risen, brush it lightly with the egg wash. (i sprinkled some whole anise seeds on top, but you don't have to do that. some people use slivered almonds, but my family has allergies).
- 9 bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. (i slid the parchment paper directly onto a preheated pizza stone. my bread came out a little dark on the top, next time i'll drape some foil paper over it around 15 minutes in).
- 10 cool on a rack. store in a brown bag for up to 3 days. (when it starts getting stale - if it lasts that long - you can make french toast with it. i recommend this recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/dennys-style-french-toast-90674 so good!).

- 1 teaspoon ground masticha (optional)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 5 eggs, very well beaten
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 -3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
Recipe
- 1 warm two cups of milk and place in a large bowl. add the yeast, one cup of the flour, and 1/4 cup of the sugar. cover and proof for one hour.
- 2 in a large bowl, combine seven cups of flour, the ground almonds, salt, remaining sugar, orange rind, aniseed or mahlepi and masticha (if using). make a well in the center. add the yeast mixture, melted butter and eggs. work from the center outwards, bringing flour into the well, stirring the mixture until a dough begins to form.
- 3 dust a worksurface with a little of the remaining flour and knead, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and doesn't stick to your hands, about 12 minutes.
- 4 place in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and set aside in a warm, draft-free place to rise until doubled in bulk, about two hours. punch down dough.
- 5 divide into six small balls and roll each into strips 12-15 inches long, and about 2 inches in diameter. lay three strips side by side, pinching together at one end, and braid. pinch together at the other end to hold the loaf intact.
- 6 optional: at this point you can press two red-dyed eggs between the strips of the braid or just leave the braided loaf plain.
- 7 repeat the procedure to make the second loaf.
- 8 place the breads on a parchment-lined baking sheet, covered, and let rise for two hours, or until doubled in bulk. while the braids are rising, preheat oven to 360f (180°c), placing rack on lower shelf of oven.
- 9 beat together the egg yolk and remaining milk. brush over tsoureki loaves and sprinkle with slivered almonds.
- 10 bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown. i check my breads after about 15 minutes as they do tend to colour quickly and drape them with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning. the bread should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. remove and cool on racks.
- 11 *the special red dye used by greeks to dye easter eggs, as well as the spices mahlepi (mahleb) and masticha can be found at all good ethnic grocery stores and in the penzeys catalague.

Ingredients
- 3 1/4 teaspoons dry active yeast
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup milk, warmed to 110 degrees f
- 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons anise seed, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 7 large eggs, 3 left whole and dyed red
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg , lightly beaten
Recipe
- 1 make the dough: coat a large bowl with oil and set aside. dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in the heated milk in a small bowl. combine 4 1/2 cups flour, the remaining sugar, zest, anise, and salt in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment and mix on low speed.
- 2 add the 4 undyed eggs, the yeast mixture, and the melted butter and continue to mix on low speed until a firm dough forms, adding more flour if necessary (or combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until a firm dough forms).
- 3 transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until it is soft and elastic -- about 10 minutes. if mixing by hand, knead the dough for 10 more minutes. form the dough into a ball and transfer it to the prepared bowl, turning to coat all sides with oil.
- 4 cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel and set aside to rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in volume -- about 1 hour.
- 5 shape the loaf: preheat oven to 350 degrees f. punch down dough, turn out onto a lightly floured board, and divide into three equal parts, approximately 15 ounces each. using the palms of your hands, roll out one piece to create a 2 1/2-foot-long rope.
- 6 repeat with the remaining 2 dough pieces. braid the three strands together and seal the ends under each other to create a circle. transfer to a baking sheet. place the dyed eggs, evenly spaced, in the grooves of the braid, cover with a towel, and let rise until doubled -- about 40 minutes.
- 7 bake the bread: brush the loaf with the beaten egg and bake until loaf is golden and sounds hollow when tapped -- about 30 minutes. transfer the finished loaf to a wire rack to cool. serve at room temperature.
