Kulich (Russian Panettone) image

Kulich is a sweet yeast bread, similar to panettone, that is traditionally baked in Russia for Easter. But you can enjoy it any time! It can be glazed or left plain. You can bake the bread in large coffee tins so they keep their traditional shape.

Time 6h10m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup golden raisins
¼ cup rum
3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 cup white sugar, divided
1 ½ cups warm milk (105 degrees F (40 degrees C))
6 cups sifted all-purpose flour, divided
5 eggs, separated
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
½ cup slivered almonds
½ cup candied mixed citrus peel
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 egg white
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine golden raisins and rum in a small bowl and let soak.
  • Dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup milk in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix remaining 1 cup milk and 1 cup flour together in a bowl. Add yeast mixture and stir well. Cover and let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • Beat 5 egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form.
  • Combine remaining sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until fluffy and pale, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract. Drain raisins and add rum to egg mixture. Add to yeast mixture and mix well. Fold in egg whites gently. Add remaining flour in small batches, mixing well after each addition, until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn out dough onto a floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed. Start rubbing in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup at a time, once dough seems pliable and soft. Knead for 2 more minutes and form into a ball.
  • Transfer to a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean dish towel. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 90 minutes.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over raisins. Scatter raisins, almonds, and mixed peel in a circle around the dough. Keep kneading dough to incorporate fruits and nuts evenly.
  • Line 2 large metal coffee tins with parchment paper. Divide dough in half and transfer to the tins. Cover with a clean dish towel. Allow to rise in a warm place until dough has risen to the top, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake kulich in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour. Carefully tip loaves out of the tins onto a work surface and let cool, about 2 hours.
  • Combine confectioners' sugar, 1 egg white, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Brush over the the tops of the kulich loaves, allowing icing to run down the sides.

KULICH (RUSSIAN EASTER CAKE)



Kulich (Russian Easter Cake) image

These cakes are traditionally cooked and eaten at Russian Orthodox Easter to break the fast. Often accompanied by pashka, a sweet, fruity cheese. These do take a little bit of effort, but it is definitely worth it. They are similar to panettone. Total time includes rising times of 3.5 hours.

Time 13h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon vodka
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ cup lukewarm water
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup milk
1 pinch saffron threads
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
½ cup white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup orange blossom honey
1 lemon, zested
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
½ cup sliced almonds
4 clean 14-ounce food cans
1 egg white
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
½ teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place golden raisins into a bowl, drizzle with vodka, and allow raisins to soften overnight.
  • Mix 1 teaspoon sugar into lukewarm water in a bowl until sugar dissolves. Stir yeast into the water and let stand until the yeast mixture is frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until very warm but not simmering. Stir in saffron threads and cardamom, remove from heat, and let the milk mixture stand until lukewarm.
  • Transfer yeast mixture into a large mixing bowl. Stir milk mixture, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 cup flour into the yeast mixture, beating until the batter is smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Mix melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, orange blossom honey, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl. Beat butter mixture into the batter, then beat in eggs and egg yolk.
  • Mix 2 1/2 cups of flour into the dough. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup flour onto a work surface and knead dough until it holds together, about 5 minutes; knead soaked golden raisins and 1/2 cup almonds into the dough until well distributed.
  • Form dough into a ball and place into an oiled bowl; turn dough around in the bowl several times to coat outside of dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Punch down dough, knead a few times, and divide dough into 4 pieces. Coat inside of clean 14-ounce cans with butter. Line cans with parchment paper. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, place into a can, and press dough lightly against the inside bottom of can.
  • Cover cans with a cloth and allow dough to rise to the top of the cans, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place a baking sheet into the oven; place the cans of dough upright into oven on baking sheet. Bake until kulich are risen and lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Let kulich cool in the cans for about 15 minutes before gently removing from cans to finish cooling on racks.
  • Beat egg white in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy; beat in confectioners' sugar until the mixture holds stiff peaks. Beat lemon juice into frosting.
  • Frost the tops of the kulich and sprinkle tops with 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds. Refrigerate leftovers.

PASKA EASTER BREAD RECIPE (KULICH)



Paska Easter Bread Recipe (Kulich) image

Traditional Paska Easter Bread Recipe a.k.a. Kulich has been made by our family for generations.

Provided by Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com

Categories     Medium

Time 7h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups + 2 Tbsp warm milk (I used whole milk)
6 large eggs (room temp)
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
2 cups sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter ((1/2 lb or 226 gr), melted (if using salted butter, omit salt))
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
9 cups all-purpose Canadian flour (divided)
1 to 1 1/2 cups raisins (white or brown)
2 cups powdered Sugar
3 Tbsp Lemon Juice
3 Large Panettone Paper Molds; we purchased them on Amazon

Steps:

  • In a large Mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups + 2 Tbsp warm milk, 6 eggs, 1 Tbsp yeast, 2 cups sugar, 2 sticks melted butter (just warm, not hot!), 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tsp vanilla. Whisk in 4 cups flour. Your batter will be thick like sour cream. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place or a warm oven (about 100˚F) for 2 hours.
  • Add 5 more cups of flour; one cup at a time or until the dough no longer sticks to your hands (it will still feel sticky but wont' stick to your fingers). I find it's easiest to fold flour in with a silicone spatula. Dough should be soft. Stir in 1 to 1 1/2 cups raisins. Cover and let dough rise another 2 hours in a warm oven (100˚F).
  • Divide dough evenly into the three paper baking molds; try not to mix it or stomp it down too much. Let dough rise uncovered in a warm 100˚F oven for an additional 2 hours or until the molds are almost full. Remove from the oven and preheat oven to 350˚F.
  • Bake at 350˚F for 30-35 minutes in the middle of the oven until the top is golden brown. Let cool to room temp or just warm and then tear off the wrapper.
  • Once the Breads are at room temperature and wrappers are off, get your frosting ready. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar with 3 Tbsp lemon juice. Add a little water if it's too thick or a little more powdered sugar if it's too runny. Pour the glaze over each cooled Easter bread. Traditionally, these are topped with colorful sprinkles before the glaze sets.

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Let it rest for 15 minutes. Scald the milk. Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cups flour, and pour in hot milk, stirring until the mixture acquires the texture of sour cream. If it is too thick add an extra 1/2 cup milk. Allow mixture to cool slightly and add yeast. Beat egg yolks with remaining suagr until light. Add melted butter to yeast mixture, and then egg yolks with sugar. Gradually beat in the remaining flour. The dough will be soft, elastic, and should not stick to hands. Add candied fruit, raisins, almonds, rum, vanilla, lemon peel and salt, and knead very well, about 30 minutes. Allow dough to rise for at least 3 hours in a warm place, free from drafts, covered by a kitchen towel. After the dough has risen, place in greased and floured kulich tins or coffee cans. (Greased tins may be lined with greased brown paper.) Be sure not to fill the tin or can more than 1/3 full. Allow the kulich to rise another 30-45 minutes. Bake for about 1-1 1/2 hours at 250 to 300 degrees until puffed and golden.
