Кроки приготування:
- 1. Preparing the preferment (opara): Warm the milk until lukewarm. Add the yeast and one tablespoon of sugar (taken from the total amount). Leave for 15–20 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy.
- 2. Kneading the dough: Combine the sifted flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla sugar. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients with the preferment, add the eggs, and knead until smooth. Gradually incorporate the butter and knead until the dough becomes elastic and no longer sticks to your hands.
- 3. Adding fillings & Fermentation: Gently fold the dried cranberries and orange jelly pieces into the dough. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours to proof.
- 4. Shaping: Shape the dough and place it into the Easter bread (Paska) mold, filling it to about 2/3 capacity. Cover with a towel and leave for another 40–50 minutes for the final rise.
- 5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Brush the top of the paska with egg yolk. Bake at 165–170°C for 30–35 minutes until golden brown. Once baked, allow the paska to cool completely.
- 6. Decoration: Melt the milk confectionery glaze, drizzle it over the top of the paska, and decorate with coarse pearl sugar.
