How to bake a loaf - ingredients

For punitive, you will need:

Cooking, one of the important processes to get a beautiful and tasty punishment.

Half milk heats up to warm state.
We dissolve and stir the yeast in it, 1 tbsp. Sugar spoon, 2 tbsp. Spoons of flour.
There should be liquid dough. We put it to approach a warm place until there will be doubled and many bubbles will not appear, 40-60 minutes.

The remaining milk is heated, mix with melted butter, you can take vegetable oil, then it does not have to pull it, sugar and salt. The liquid must be warm, not hot, otherwise the yeast will die.
We prepare a large bowl, we pour the approached opaire, the liquid components, frightening the eggs of room temperature, 1 yolk leave for lubrication punishing from above.
We add gradually flour and smear the dough with your hands about 20 minutes until it becomes homogeneous and will lag behind the hands.
The dough is covered with a towel and put in a warm place until you double, 1.5-2.0 hours.
From the test, separate a small piece (about 500 g) for decoration, and wetting it with water so as not to dry.

Laying a baking sheet with parchment paper, roll the dough into the ball and lay out on paper.
From the remaining part of the test neatly and quickly roll down the decorations.
If the hostess is experienced and already knows what nuances can be when baking, then the decorations can be attached to the raw karava.
We do this: the ball from the dough on paper is peeling around the woven from the dough oblique, the braid is pre-wetted with water so that it is better glued to the test. You can also attach a spit to Karavayu.
Caparava lubricate the yolk mixed with 1 tbsp. Water spoon, and decorate the dough figures. The figures lubricate the yolk do not need them to remain lighter than the loaf itself.
The oven is turned on in advance at 200 ° C, to get started, put a cave for 20 minutes, the oven door can not be opened, otherwise the loaf can settle.
It is then screwed up to 170 ° C oven and a crossbox for another 40 minutes, if the time has not passed, and the loaf begins to burn, cover it with foil.
Turn off the oven and leave the loaf in it gradually cool for about 20 minutes.
Let's get out of the shape to the tray-shined napkin, we lubricate the creamy oil or sweet syrup from above, cover with a towel and leave it for 5-6 hours.
And if the hostess bakes loaf for the first time and is not sure about his abilities, then it's better to wear a loaf with a yolk and put a stove, and 15-20 minutes before the end of the baking, moistened in the water decorations put on a loaf and finish.

In Russia, Karavai for newlyweds decorated with figures from the test, which symbolized love and wealth.

Here are the most basic ones:

Spit swallow from 3 thin, rolled sticks. She symbolizes the sun and bright feelings to each other.
Valina's branch is love and prosperity in the house, lay it out of the dough balls cut in half, and thin twigs from the dough.
Crossos of wheat are fertility. Twist the strip from the dough, on the one hand thinner, on the other - thicker. Thick side cut with scissors in the form of spikelets.
Roses are love. Roll over 3-4 small mugs, one circle with a roll with a roll, and others turn around it around it, the edges of the exterior.
Leaves - a symbol of abundance. Roll over the dough layer, cut the rhombus, they cut them off the edges, you can cut the edges and there will be teeth of the leaves.
For the convenient location of the salt plug on the Karava, we make a deepening for it: we turn a thin pigtail from the dough, we connect the edges - it turned out a circle, wet the bottom of the circle in the water and glue the caravet.

So, we learned the oven wedding loaf.
