ingredients
- 1⁄4 l and 1 tbsp whole milk (3.5% fat)
- 250 grams of liquid honey
- 1 cube (42g) yeast
- 750 g wheat flour (Type 550)
- 3 eggs (size L)
- 1 Jodsalz socket
- 130 g macadamia nuts
- 120g chopped pistachios
- 2 teaspoons grated zest of 1 unwaxed lemon
- Zimtpulver
preparation
- Warm the milk slightly. Add 150 g honey and yeast, dissolve both in it. Add flour, 2 eggs and salt. Knead the dough well for about 10 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes until the dough has doubled in size.
- Finely chop macadamia nuts. Separate the remaining egg. Set the yolk aside. Mix the nuts, pistachios, remaining honey, egg white, lemon zest and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until you get a spreadable mixture.
- Roll out the dough thinly to the size of a tin, spread with the filling. Divide the sheet of dough lengthwise into three strips, roll up each strip from the long side. Braid the rolls, place on a greased baking sheet and leave to rise for another 30 minutes.
- Mix the egg yolk and 1 tbsp milk, brush the braid with it. Bake the braid at 180 degrees (convection: 160 degrees/gas stove: level 3) on the middle shelf for about 30 minutes.
