Receta Greek Prosphoro
We use this bread during church services, it is made by parishioners and is used during communion and given to people to take home. I was surprised the recipe was difficult to find when I began baking for the church, so if there are any Greek or Orthodox people out there here is the recipe and instructions. I use a heating pad during the rising process during the winter time, or use my microwave. I boil a bowl of water in the microwave, place the dough in there and shut the door for 40 minutes, it's warm and helps with rising
Ingredientes
Direcciones
- In your mixer with the bread hook attachment place flour and salt
- In a measuring cup add dry yeast and water, stir and allow to grow
- When dissolved and foamy add gradually to flour while the mixer is slowly going, allow the dough to combine with the water
- Continue to blend the dough, you might have a bit of flour on the bottom and the dough might be sticky but just allow the machine to knead the dough until it looks smooth
- Remove from the mixer bowl and hand knead a bit and form into a smooth ball
- Place in a clean bowl and cover with plastic wrap and towel, allow to rise minutes
- Punch dough down and separate into 2 pieces, roll and knead these for about 3-4 minutes.
- Place the balls into a 9 inch round parchment lined cake pan (do not use any oil or spray)
- Dust top with flour and use the seal (a wooden carved seal specifically made for Holy Bread) Got mine from Greece
- Press the seal into the round and leave it there
- Poke 8 holes around the seal with a wooden skewer (This makes the seal easier to pull off prior to baking
- Allow dough to rise about minutes
- Carefully remove the wooden seal
- Place in a 375 oven and bake for 45 minutes or until golden
