Pan De Yema Oaxaqueno
From
Mexico The Beautiful Cookbook by
Susanna Palazuelos and Marilyn Tausend. In Oaxaca these loaves are
baked in wood-burning clay ovens so the bread becomes crusty on the
outside with an airy-texture. The bread is traditionally served
toasted or "dunked" in hot chocolate.
Makes: 2 Loaves
I N G R E D I E N T S
1 1/2 ounces dry yeast
1 cup (8 fl oz.) lukewarm water
8 cups (2 lb/1kg) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (6 oz/185g) sugar
1 cup (8 oz/250g) butter, melted
1 tablespoon salt
5 eggs
10 egg yolks
1 tablespoon aniseed
egg wash (1 egg white plus 1/2 egg yolk)
sesame seed (optional)

N S T R U C T I O N S
Dissolve the yeast in the
lukewarm water. Add 1 up (4 oz/125g) of the flour and 1 tablespoon sugar
and let stand for 1 hour.
Place the remaining flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and
place the remaining sugar, butter, salt, eggs, egg yolks, aniseed and
the yeast mixture in the well. Mix thoroughly, then knead on a floured
board until the dough becomes elastic and bubbles form.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth and let rise in a
warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume.
Punch down the dough, form into 2 round loaves and place on a greased
baking pan. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume
again.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (190 C). Make several slashes across the
top of the loaves, brush with the egg wash and, if desired, sprinkle
with sesame seeds. Bake for 35-40 minutes. |
