RECIPE FOR TSOUREKI WITH CHIOS MASTIC

Ingredients:

1 kg flour

300gr sugar

200gr butter

2 sachets TSOUREKI MIX 3 in 1 ELMA

120gr room temperature water

200gr milk

4 eggs

1 pinch of salt

Directions:

A. Dissolve 2 sachets of Tsoureki Mix 3 in 1 ELMA in room temperature water and mix with 150gr flour in the dough hook mixer. Cover the mix and let it rise for 15 minutes, allowing the dry yeast to be activated. Whip the eggs and salt well, add them to the raised mix and stir at slow speed in the mixer for 5 minutes.

B. In a pot, warm the milk, 100gr butter and sugar at low temperature, until the butter melts and the ingredients are homogenized – then keep stirring. Let the mix cool for 15 minutes and move it from the pot into the mixer with the ingredients from step A – then stir at low speed for 5 minutes.

C. Add to the mixer the rest of the 850gr of flour and mix at slow speed until the flour is absorbed into the mix (approximately 10 minutes) and then raise the speed for 5 minutes. Afterwards, add 100gr of molten butter and stir at slow speed until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the mixer vessel (5 minutes). Then put the dough in a bowl, previously covered with a little sunflower oil, let it rise until it is doubled in size (almost 1 hour). Knead 2 big tsourekia in a shape of our liking (braids, round) and place them in a narrow tray covered with baking paper, so they rise without spreading – and we place them in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Optionally, spread a diluted egg yolk on the tsoureki, powder with chopped almonds and then bake for 40–50 minutes in a preheated oven (air function) at 150C.
