Cómo preparar Greek Christmas Bread
- Prepare the quick yeast dough (refer to recipe #307801 for details - 1/2 recipe).
- Remove stems from 1 cup dried figs and cut into quarters. If figs are dry, soak in hot water for 30 minutes, drain, and pat dry.
- Place 1 teaspoon anise seeds in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process for 1 minute.
- Add the quartered figs, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, zest of 1 orange, and 1/2 teaspoon anise extract to the food processor.
- Pulse until ingredients are evenly chopped.
- Add 1/2 cup raisins and pulse just until combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into an 18x4-inch rectangle.
- Spread the fig and walnut mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Brush the edges of the dough with water.
- Starting at one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log at a slight angle, creating a tapered shape.
- Place the loaf seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Gently twist the dough and coil it into a snail shape, tucking the tapered end underneath.
- Cover the loaf with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 25 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush the loaf lightly with water.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Brush the warm bread with 2 tablespoons of honey.
