Artisanal Grape Bread: The Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients for 8 servings:
- 500 grams of all-purpose flour
- 1 packet of active dry yeast
- 2 eggs
- 224 milliliters of milk
- 2 pinches of salt
- 100 grams of unsalted butter
- 40 grams of granulated sugar
- Homemade pastry cream
- 1 large handful of raisins
Instructions for Preparing Artisanal Grape Bread:
- Activate the yeast by dissolving it in warm milk. Combine the yeast-milk mixture with flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs and mix thoroughly using an electric mixer.
- Incorporate the salt once all ingredients are well combined. Gradually add the butter while continuing to mix for approximately fifteen minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Lightly flour a work surface or a board. Transfer the dough onto the floured surface. Shape it into a ball and cover it with a clean cloth, allowing it to rest for 30 minutes.
- After the resting period, roll out the dough into a rectangle, gently stretching it to maintain an even thickness. Spread homemade pastry cream evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with raisins.
- Roll up the dough tightly, folding in the edges as you go to seal the filling inside. Press gently to seal the seam. Cut the rolled dough into 4-inch pieces using kitchen scissors.
- Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each roll. Cover with a clean cloth and let them rise for 35 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Lightly beat an egg and brush it over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish.
- Bake the artisanal grape bread in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your freshly baked artisanal grape bread!
