Description

Dieses griechische Osterbrot, auch Tsoureki genannt, ist ein absolutes Highlight zu Ostern! Ich backe es jedes Jahr und es duftet einfach herrlich im ganzen Haus. Die Kombination aus Mandeln, getrockneten Aprikosen, Orange und Zitrone macht es so besonders. Das Mahlepi-Gewürz verleiht dem Teig eine einzigartige Note. Die Zubereitung ist zwar etwas aufwendiger, aber das Ergebnis ist es allemal wert. Perfekt für ein festliches Osterfrühstück oder als süße Leckerei am Nachmittag. Ein Stück Griechenland für zu Hause!

Brot formen und bestreichen

Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Divide each half into 3 equal balls. Roll each ball into a rope about 45 cm (18 inches) long. Braid 3 ropes together to make a loaf and tuck the ends underneath. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining 3 ropes to form a second loaf. Brush the egg yolk mixture on top of each loaf and sprinkle with ½ cup slivered almonds. Brush again with the egg yolk mixture.
