Braided yeast dough

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare such products. Melt the butter and let it cool down.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix warm milk with dry yeast.Add butter, egg, salt, sugar. I did everything in a planetary mixer. You can just as easily stir in a cup.

3. Step 3:

   

   Sift the flour and gradually add it to the bowl. Stir further.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the dough on the table, add flour if you need it. Everyone has different flour, eggs. Therefore, we add as much flour as it takes. But we do not score the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   Knead the dough.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put it in a cup and put it in a warm place for an hour. You can put it in a slow cooker or I sometimes put it in the oven and turn on the light there just.

7. Step 7:

   

   The dough will rise, but not much.

8. Step 8:

   

   I grated an apple and poured lemon juice. But the recipe was to cut an apple into pieces. Grated apple gives juice, so it's better to cut it into small pieces.

10. Step 9:

    

    Rub marzipan on a grater or cut it too. You can put it in the freezer for half an hour.

11. Step 10:

    

    Divide the dough into 3 parts.

12. Step 11:

    

    Roll out each part into a strip. And we put the filling, apples and marzipan.We pinch each one.

13. Step 12:

    

    We do this with each part. We put the strips next to each other. Pinch the top.

14. Step 13:

    

    We weave a braid, wrap the ends under the bottom. That's how I got a pigtail. We put it on a sheet covered with paper and let it stand for half an hour. At this time, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. If desired, you can coat the braid with a beaten egg.

15. Step 14:

    

    Bake for 25 minutes. Maybe it will be longer in your oven. We pierce with a toothpick.

16. Step 15:

    

    I poured icing on the cooled braid. For the glaze, put powdered sugar in a bowl and add water gradually. Stir to a liquid state.Pour a spoon over the top. That's it! Have a nice day.
