Star bread is the perfect choice,if you want to bake something extra-special for the holidays. A real show-stopper, as delicious as it is gorgeous.
Today lets see how easy it is to make this star bread in five simple steps.
Ingredients
1 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
150 ml whole milk
50 g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature(In the video there is a typo mistake instead of 50 g i have typed 150 g.Sorry for the typo mistake)
1 large egg
2 and 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon salt
Filling :Spread 1 Tablespoon of very soft unsalted butter onto each of the 3 circles(optional). Mix 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over butter on each circle.
Egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk
Method
1.Prepare the dough.
Lets combine all the ingredients together.whisk together the Warm milk and egg and then add sugar,salt,yeast ,very soft butter or melted butter and flour.
Just combine everything together and then we need to knead the dough.
While making any sort of bread it is not necessary to go very strict on the measurements,we can add little more(1 or 2 tablespoons) flour if the dough is too sticky or we can add little more milk or water if you feel the dough is too tough.But we should know the consistency of the final dough.Our final dough should be soft and supple and elastic enough to withstand all the stretching and puffing later.
You can use a stand mixer to do this or you can knead the dough by hand.
2.First Proofing.
Place in a slightly warm environment to rise until doubled in size, around 90-120 minutes.
3.Divide and Shape the dough.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.Roll each out into a rough 10-inch circle. Stack them on top of each other with your filling between each. There will be 4 layers of dough and 3 layers of filling.
Shaping :As you saw in the video, this isn’t tricky! Cut any scraps around the edges so you have an even circle. Place a 2 1/2 inch round object or bowl in the center to make an indent. This is the center of the star. Using a pizza cutter a sharp knife, cut 16 even strips.while cutting,we need make sure the dough is cut into all the layers ;otherwise you will find it difficult to shape while twisting the strips. Grab two strips and twist them twice ;away from each other, then press the two ends together. Your star bread will have 8 points.
4.Second Proofing.
Cover the shaped bread with a plastic film and let it rest for 40 minutes before brushing with egg wash and baking. Egg wash promises a beautifully shiny and golden star bread!
5.Bake the bread.
Bake @ 350F for about 22-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. If you notice the top or points browning too quickly, loosely tent the star bread with aluminum foil.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
