Moist very soft Easter cake dough overnight

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake moist, very soft Easter cake dough overnight? Sift the flour. Take cold or room milk. pace. , just not warm. Cold eggs need 250 grams. - this is 5 pcs. Dry, instant yeast, which is added directly to the dough. Do not skimp on salt. As a filling - homemade candied fruits, I made it myself. There was already a recipe. I'll leave a link in the comments. Cold butter. Spices - optional, I have: cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix all ingredients except candied fruits and butter and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes at minimum speed. This can be done either with a dough mixer or with your hands. It will be liquid and, if I may say so, a little rubbery. You may need more or less flour, depending on the consistency of the dough.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then add cold butter in small cubes at intervals of 15-20 seconds. This may take about 10 minutes. And continue kneading the dough further. It will change, become elastic, and you will notice how it will begin to move away from the walls of the bowl in some places.

4. STEP 4

   

   Transfer to a container greased with vegetable oil and put in a warm place to approach. The dough should double in size. It took me 2 hours to do this.

5. STEP 5

   

   After this time, punch down the dough... If it sticks to your hands, grease with vegetable oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Ooooh how I love this process... the dough is all permeated with air bubbles...

7. STEP 7

   

   Wrap well with cling film and refrigerate overnight. In general, it can be from 4 hours to 3 days.

8. STEP 8

   

   As a filling I will use homemade candied orange peels that I made myself. There was already a recipe. I’ll leave a link in the comments. So juicy, bright, sunny and festive!

9. STEP 9

   

   I will bake in paper forms. Height 9 cm, width 11.

10. STEP 10

    

    My dough spent 12 hours in the refrigerator. I knead it, if it sticks to your hands, grease it with vegetable oil.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add candied fruits, stir. You can, of course, do this on the table, but it’s easier this way

12. STEP 12

    

    Divide into 4 equal parts, each 280 g, fill the molds 1/3 and put them in a warm place to proof.

13. STEP 13

    

    It took me 2 hours to do this. The dough should double in size. Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees and bake until done. Focus on your oven.

14. STEP 14

    

    I baked mine for 25 minutes, then covered with foil to prevent the top from burning and baked for another 15. Let cool completely on a wire rack. It's best to store in paper molds, this will keep them soft and fresh longer.

15. STEP 15

    

    Beautiful, rosy... the dough was well baked and risen...

16. STEP 16

    

    Tender, airy, aromatic, rich and simply very tasty.

17. STEP 17

    

    Cover with egg white glaze according to tradition, I used Swiss meringue made from 2 egg whites. There are a lot of recipes on the Internet, I won’t talk about it.

18. STEP 18

    

    And sugar sprinkles. In short, everything is the old fashioned way

Delicious Easter cake recipe! The dough turned out as in the description - “Sweet, tender, rich, smells of spices and oranges. Very tasty!” When I prepared them, strictly following the author’s recommendations, the only difference was in time; to increase in size, my dough needed 30 minutes more. Otherwise, everything is according to the recipe. I even made candied orange peel using the same author's recipe. In general, EVERYTHING turned out incredibly tasty! I don't know a better Easter yet! The only thing I didn’t do, or rather didn’t have time to do, was the traditional glaze. Therefore, I used the orange syrup left over from making candied fruits. For an Easter cake in the form of a cupcake it was just right! The whole family was gathered and the Easter cakes were rated with the highest score! On this Red Hill, my parents’ wedding would have turned exactly 50 years old. It's a pity that my father didn't live to see it. Thank you so much for the very tasty recipe!

Thank you so much for the amazing recipe: Moist, very soft Easter cake dough overnight. I decided to bake for the first time in my life, probably under the influence of hormones (7 months pregnant). Everything turned out just perfect! I got carried away and baked 16 servings and treated them to family, friends, acquaintances... Absolutely everyone was delighted!!! There is no smell of yeast, only aromatic spices. The cakes are soft and just melt in your mouth! I'm saving the recipe as a permanent post. Bravo to the author!)
