- Preparation: 120 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (98.8 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 35 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Milk, whole
- 8 g Butter, unsalted
- 10 g Sugar
- 10 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
- 8 g Raisins
- 5 g Candied fruit
- 1 g Vanilla extract
- 0.3 g Salt
- 5 g Sugar, powdered
Method
- Warm the milk, dissolve the yeast and a spoon of the sugar in it, and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy. Makes 1 slice of a whole kulich serving about 10; multiply the recipe by 10 for a full loaf baked in a tall tin.
- Beat the egg with the remaining sugar and salt, then mix with the yeast mixture, melted butter and vanilla.
- Work in the flour to form a soft, slightly sticky dough; knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Fold in the raisins and candied fruit, then cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours until doubled.
- Shape into a tall loaf, place in a greased tall tin, and prove for 30-40 minutes more.
- Bake at 180 C (350 F) for 35-45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean, tenting with foil if the top browns too fast.
- Cool completely, then top with icing made from the powdered sugar loosened with a few drops of water, letting it drip down the sides.
