- Preparation: 140 min
- Cooking: 35 min
- Makes: 1 serving (82.8 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 42 g Flour, all-purpose
- 22 g Milk, whole
- 0.01 g Saffron
- 1.5 g Yeast, fresh
- 5 g Sugar
- 0.3 g Salt
- 4 g Egg
- 6 g Butter, soft
- 2 g Egg yolk (for brushing)
Method
- Warm the milk until lukewarm (about 35 °C), crumble in the saffron and leave it for 10 minutes until deep yellow, then stir in the yeast.
- Mix the flour, sugar and salt, add the saffron milk, the egg and the soft butter, and knead for 10 minutes into a smooth, supple dough.
- Cover the bowl and leave in a warm place for 1 hour 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf, flatten it slightly and set it on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover and leave to rise for 30 minutes. Meanwhile heat the oven to 180 °C.
- Beat the egg yolk with a few drops of milk and brush it over the loaf; let it dry for 5 minutes and brush again. Score a criss-cross pattern of diamonds over the top with a sharp knife.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until deep golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped underneath. Cool on a rack.
- In Fribourg, cuchaule is the bread of the Bénichon harvest festival, eaten in slices with Bénichon mustard (a sweet, spiced cooked mustard) or with butter and jam.
