    Steps How to Make It:

    Step 1: Prepare the Dough

        1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk (about 37-40°C or 98-104°F) with the dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

    Ezoic 

        1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt and sugar are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
        2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with the vegetable oil and the beaten egg white.

      1. Knead the Dough: Mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms, then transfer it to a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little extra flour as needed.

    1. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

    Step 2: Prepare the Filling

    1. Mix Filling Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.

    Step 3: Shape the Bread

        1. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle approximately 1 cm thick (about 0.4 inches).

     

          1. Add the Filling: Evenly sprinkle the walnut mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

        1. Roll the Dough: Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal the dough.
        2. Shape the Loaf: Gently twist the dough log and tuck the ends under to fit into a greased loaf pan. You can also place the dough into a round baking pan for a more rustic look.

     

    Step 4: Second Rise

    1. Let it Rise Again: Cover the loaf with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, until it has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.

    Step 5: Prepare the Glaze

      1. Make the Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk. This will give the bread a beautiful golden color when baked.

    Step 6: Bake the Bread

      1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) during the second rise.

        1. Glaze the Loaf: Once the dough has risen, brush the top with the egg wash.
        2. Bake: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
        3. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Best Strawberries Cream Lemonade

    Best Strawberries Cream Lemonade

    Is there anything more refreshing than a cold glass of lemonade on a toasty day? It’s a summertime staple for a reason! And while the classic lemon juice and sugar recipes will never fail you, it would be a disservice not to let you in on my new favorite version: Strawberries & Cream Lemonade.

    Yup, you heard that right. This recipe combines the tangy zest of freshly squeezed lemons with the sweetness of ripe strawberries and creamy decadence of sweetened condensed milk. I promise it is every bit as delicious as it sounds!

    You’ll need about 1 ½ to 2 cups of strawberries for this recipe. Frozen berries will work, but fresh is even better. Place them in a blender and pulse until they’re fully pureed. At this point there’s an optional step of straining any pulp and seeds out of the puree. Personally, the seeds don’t bother me and I think the pulp adds more flavor, but the final call is up to you here.

    Now it’s time to mix everything up. Add fresh lemon juice (you definitely want to use fresh here, the bottled stuff is just not the same!), strawberry puree, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt to a pitcher of ice and stir until nice and smooth.

    If you don’t want your bevy quite as sweet feel free to spoon in the milk a little at a time until your desired sweetness is achieved. Add some chilled water for the last step and this gorgeous drink is ready to serve!

    Ingredients

    2 cups ice
    1 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (5-7 lemons)
    1 ½ – 2 cups fresh strawberries
    1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
    Pinch of salt
    5-6 cups cold water
    Optional: mashed strawberries and lemon slices for garnish

    Preparation

    Place strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until fully pureed. Optional: use a fine mesh strainer to strain out seeds if desired.
    Add ice to a 1/2 gallon pitcher then add lemon juice, strawberry puree, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Use a large spoon to stir for about 1 minute until smooth.
    Add cold water and stir to combine. Add additional mashed strawberries and lemon slices if desired. Serve and enjoy!
