My dearest friends bar is closing. I made a little website that does a cute color-cycle thing to cheer her up and give people a chance to signup for her mailing list. If you live in NY and like good things, make sure you sign up to be notified when Nita Nita inevitably rises from the ashes.

Züpfe Recipe

A few days ago, I live-braided a Züpfe on periscope, and promised the viewers I’d publish the recipe, so here goes it:

Ingredients

2.2 lb all-purpose flower

0.5 oz instant dry yeast (I use this one)

2.75 dl milk

2.75 dl water

8 tbsp butter (1 stick)

2 tbsp sugar

1.5 tbsp salt

1 egg yolk (to brush on)

Instructions

Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a big bowl. Melt the butter and combine with milk and water. Incorporate the liquid into the bowl — mix until all the flour and liquid is well combined.

Spread a bit of flour on your work surface and knead the dough. Once the texture feels smooth, cut the dough in half and look for little tiny bubbles in the dough. If you see bubbles, you’re done. Combine the cut pieces again.

Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a wet towel. Let it rest for at least one hour at room temperature. (You can also let it rest over night).

Half the dough and roll out to two equal long parts. Braid. Here’s what I say out loud while braiding to remember the pattern: “left over right — right over left — left over right — right over left …”

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place braided loaf in the middle. (Put it diagonally to leave as much space as possible for the rising during baking).

Let sit for 10 minutes.

Brush with egg yolk and put into cold oven. Set oven to 395° and bake for 40 min.
