BERRY CINNAMON SWIRL
3 teaspoons dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
¾ cup milk
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons butter
2 ¼ cup flour
½ teaspoons salt
olive oil
¼ cup butter
¼ cup sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
pinch mace
splash vanilla extract
2 cups fresh berries
1 lemon [zest]
1 egg white
icing sugar
_ melt butter in milk [mixture should have about the temperature of your skin]
_ mix in yeast and sugar [let froth for 5 minutes]
_ in a large bowl whisk together flour and salt
_ pour in milk-yeast mixture and one egg yolk
_ knead until dough pulls away from the edges of the bowl [add more milk if dough is too dry]
_place dough on the counter and knead until dough is smooth and damp [about 10 minutes]
_ shape into a ball and place into a large bowl greased with olive oil
_ cover and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size [about 1 hour]
_ combine sugar, cinnamon and mace
_ cut larger berries into small pieces
_ melt butter
_ grease a round spring form [alternatively you can just place the swirl in the end on a baking sheet lined baking tray]
_ preheat oven to 190°C
_ deflate risen dough
_ on a lightly floured surface roll the dough into a rectangle [about 30x45 cm]
_ spread butter evenly [leaving a small border around the edges]
_ sprinkle sugar-cinnamon mixture and lemon zest on top and
drizzle with vanilla extract
_ distribute berries evenly
_ roll the dough from the longer side shut [roll will be super lumpy
because of the berries]
_ using a sharp knife, cut the log in half length-wise [leaving it connected on top]
_ braid the two pieces by carefully lifting one strand over the other [some berries will fall out - no worries - you can stuff them back in later]
_ finished braiding press the ends together to seal it
_ transfer to the bottom of your spring form and join the two dough ends
_ brush the dough with egg white
_ bake for 20-25 minutes [until golden brown and bubbling]
_ allow to cool and dust with icing sugar
