CHOEREG (ARMENIAN EASTER BREAD)



Choereg (Armenian Easter Bread) image

Ok...so my mother would just kill me if she knew I made our family recipe for Choereg public. But my policy is 'why keep a good thing to myself'. Choereg is a traditional, slightly sweet bread, especially made for Easter. It is delicious for breakfast with a nice cup of coffee. It takes some level of skill, but anyone used to handling yeast should not have a problem. You can find Mahleb at Middle Eastern grocery stores, especially around Easter. It will be with the spices. Please do not omit it, as this is what gives it its distinctive flavour and aroma.

Time 6h25m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup whole milk
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup margarine
1 cup white sugar
½ cup lukewarm water
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
5 eggs
6 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ tablespoons ground mahleb
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, butter and margarine. Heat until butter and margarine are melted, but do not let it boil. Stir in 1 cup of sugar until dissolved, then set aside to cool to lukewarm.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons of sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface, and let stand until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl, and stir a little to break up the yolks. Slowly pour in the heated milk mixture while whisking constantly, so as to temper the eggs and not cook them. Add the yeast mixture, and stir just until blended.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, mahleb, and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until it forms a sticky dough. Pour onto a floured surface, and knead in additional flour as needed to make a more substantial dough. Knead for about 10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, and set in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • When the dough has doubled, punch down again, and let rise until doubled. It will only take about half as long this time.
  • Separate the dough into 5 even portions, then separate each of those into thirds. Roll each of those into ropes about 12 inches long. Braid sets of three ropes together, pinching the ends to seal, and tucking them under for a better presentation. Place the loaves onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Loaves should be spaced 4 inches apart. Set in a warm place to rise until your finger leaves an impression behind when you poke the loaf gently.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush the loaves with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until nicely golden brown all over.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup whole milk
4 1/2 cups bread flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon mahleb (ground cherry seeds)
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • 1. Put ingredients in bread machine as per directed by manufacturer. Use the dough setting on your machine. Divede the dough into 24 pieces to shape into a braid. Let rise for 30 - 60 minutes once braided to rise and increase in size. Line pans with parchment paper and coat with egg wash and sprinkle on sesame seeds. Bake for approximately 15 - 20 until golden brown. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use the Correct Ingredients: Ensure you have the right measurements of high-quality ingredients. The freshness of yeast and the quality of bread flour greatly impact the final result.
  • Activate the Yeast Properly: For active dry yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the bread machine. Instant yeast can be added directly to the dry ingredients.
  • Control the Dough Temperature: Most bread machines have a dough temperature setting. If yours does, aim for a temperature between 75-85°F (24-29°C) for optimal yeast activity.
  • Knead and Rise the Dough: The kneading and rising times may vary between bread machines. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper dough development.
  • Shape the Rounds: Before the final rise, divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into smooth, round balls. This will help create a uniform bake.
  • Bake According to Your Machine's Settings: Different bread machines may have various baking cycles. Choose the "Basic" or "White Bread" cycle for a standard bake.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a bread round. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, let it bake for a few more minutes.
