Zubereitung von Golden Eggnog Holiday Braid Recipe
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast.
- Stir until yeast is dissolved and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Mix on low speed until combined.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
- With the mixer running on low, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup eggnog until a shaggy dough forms.
- Continue mixing until the dough comes together and cleans the sides of the bowl, about 5-7 minutes.
- Gradually add the remaining eggnog (about 1/4 cup, or more as needed), until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly sticky.
- Let the dough rest in the bowl for 10 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal parts.
- Roll each part into a 20-inch long strand.
- Braid the three strands together.
- Tuck the ends under and pinch to seal.
- Place the braid on a greased baking sheet.
- Brush with oil and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the braid with additional eggnog and sprinkle with granulated sugar or sliced almonds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- Makes 1 loaf
