Coffee Sweet Bread

Method

  • In a mixer’s bowl, add the water, yeast and 2 tablespoons of flour.
  • Mix with a spoon and gently cover with the remaining flour.
  • Set it aside for about ½ an hour to allow the yeast to activate. It will be ready when you see the bubbles rise out of the flour.
  • In the meantime, beat the sugar along with the aromatics (mahlab and mastic) in a food processor until they are finely ground. You can also do this with a mortar and pestle.
  • Transfer to a pan and add the honey, 100 g of butter, orange zest, vanilla and pinch of salt. Heat over very low heat until the butter melts. Make sure it doesn’t burn; you just want it to become warm.
  • When ready, remove from heat and add the eggs. Mix lightly and add the mixture to the mixer.
  • Beat on low speed with the hook attachment, until the dough comes together and starts to pull back from the sides of the bowl.
  • At the very end, add the 50 g of chilled butter in pieces while the mixer is beating.
  • As soon as the last piece of butter has been absorbed, remove half of the dough from the mixer’s bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and set it aside to rise.
  • To the other half of the dough left in the mixer’s bowl, add the cocoa powder and coffee.
  • Beat until completely incorporated and transfer to a separate bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and set it aside for about 1-2 hours to rise also (not in a warm place).
  • When ready, divide each dough in half. You should have 2 pieces of white dough and 2 pieces of dark dough.
  • Roll each piece into a long rope and create a braid with all 4 pieces.
  • Allow it to rise for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 180* C (350* F) Fan.
  • When ready, brush with some egg white and bake for 20-30 minutes.
  • When ready, allow it to cool and serve with glaze and instant coffee granules.

For the glaze

  • Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it has almost come to a boil.
  • Finely chop the white chocolate in a bowl and pour the hot heavy cream over it.
  • Let it soak for 1 minute and then stir with a plastic spatula until the chocolate melts completely and you have a smooth mixture.
  • Add the coffee and mix.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the sweet bread creating decorative lines.
  • Sprinkle with coffee granules and serve.
