Give me something light and not too sweet for breakfast. Give me something yeasty too. Give me a simple, quick, plain recipe, that can be made by everyone. Give me something I can made over the weekend and that will last at least few days. Read more . Give me something with LOADS of raisins in it. Can you vaguely imagine how difficult is to find a recipe that satisfy all those components??? Very... At the end I found something by Martha Stewart: I've changed a bit, but it's basically it... Lighting a candle under her shrine, just next to Nigella's... Ingredients:
250 ml warm water |
10 g fresh yeast |
150 g all-purpose flour |
200 g of strong flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
4 tablespoons melted butter |
150 g raisins |
70 g cane sugar + 1 teaspoon |
4 teaspoons cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg |
1 egg beaten |
Directions:
1. Crumble the yeast in the kneader bowl (normal large bowl, if kneading by hand), add a pinch of sugar, then dissolve everything with the warm water. let it rest for 10-15 minute, until it foams.
2. Add flours, sugar, and half the butter. Knead for 10 minutes on medium speed. Add raisins and knead for another 5 minutes. Form a ball and place it in an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic and let it rest until it doubles, for 1-2 hours.
3. Roll out the dough in a 30x25 centimetres square. Mix cane sugar with cinnamon, nutmeg and the remaining melted butter. Brush the rolled dough with some of the beaten egg, sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon- butter mixture and rub everything together with the back of a spoon. Roll up the dough tightly, beginning from the short side. Close the ends and lay the sausage in a buttered plum-cake pan, 22x12 centimetres. Let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm environment.
4. Preheat the oven at 220° C.
5. When the dough is well risen, brush it with the remaining beaten egg and a teaspoon of cane sugar. Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature at 180° C and bake for another 15 minutes.
6. Let it coll before to slice it.
7. Warning: gives addiction...
