 Bobby Lovera's Sweet Bread Wreath - made with Ice Cream Dough. |
 It's similar to Challah but lower in fat and rises better. |
 |
 I chose Vanilla Swiss Almond by Haagen-dazs. I have also tried several of Ben and Jerry's flavors. |
 The scalded milk mixture was poured directly on the eggs and stirring began immediately...now add the yeast. |
 Becoming difficult to stir. |
 ...worked in more flour... |
 ...becoming stiff...switched to rubber spatula or big wooden spoon. This starting to look proper. |
 Letting it rise with a big pinch of flour... |
 It's almost double...going to proceed anyway... |
 Uhm..No. That is not yet a rectangle. Lol. Push it, flip it, stretch it. 8x5 inch rectangle would be close enough. Roll it and tug until 15 inch long. |
 Simple 3 rope braid... |
 Onto the pan...curve and tuck...crimp ends together as desired. |
 Applied the egg wash with silicone brush. Do not use an old style brush because it will shed onto the food. |
 Marcona Almonds are more fragrant and less bitter than other types. |
 20-25 minutes at 400F...or 30 minutes at 375F. You know your oven best. Check on it a few times. |

Direcciones
- Place Flour, Eggs, Salt, Sugar into mixing bowl as shown in photo.
- Scald together Milk, Water, Butter, Vanilla, and Ice cream until hot and foamy...not extremely hot but steaming.
- Pour scalded mixture directly on eggs to weaken their leavening power and begin stirring Immediately with chopsticks to prevent eggs from cooking. You may use a mixer if you like.
- After a dough begins to form add yeast to warm dough and continue stirring to incorporate.
- Add more flour 1 T. at a time while mixing forcibly until the dough starts forming a ball.
- Cover and let rest the dough and your arm for 15 minutes.
- Switch to rubber spatula and continue to mix by turning the edge of the stiff dough over upon the center and stuff it through. Turn the bowl and repeat this action for 3 minutes adding a good pinch of flour occasionally until you have a nice firm ball.
- Sprinkle with flour and pick up the ball. Twist the dough and work the ball inside out a few times keeping plenty of flour on your hands to prevent sticking and drop the ball back into the bowl when it feels like a stiff water balloon.
- Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
- Remake the ball tight again by kneading and twisting. Scrunch the side of the ball to take out the slack and stuff the slack up through the bottom of the ball..crimp and twist. Repeat a few times then should be tight.
- Let dough relax for 10 minutes then divide into 3 equal pieces by weight.
- Roll each piece into a ball then one at a time press a ball out into a rectangle approximately 8X5 inches with your fingertips or rolling pin; dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
- Roll up the edge of the rectangle to form a nice long strand of dough stretching it as you roll to make it longer...it should be about 15 inches long and a 1/2 inch in diameter.
- Make 3 strands identical then braid them and crimp the ends.
- Spray a perforated pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray and carefully slide the braid onto the pan; turning the pan to form a wreath then adjust and crimp the two ends together.
- Heat oven to bake at 400F.
- Tent wreath with large piece of foil and let rise on the stove top while the oven is heating.
- Prepare egg wash by whisking 1 egg with 1/3 C. water.
- Remove foil and brush wreath with egg wash rubbing the surface evenly with light pressure to scrub the egg into the dough gently and correct your stroke to smooth the surface before moving to the next section. Wet egg wash such as this relaxes the surface skin of the dough and helps the yeast rise.
- Cover and let rise a few more minutes then brush it again with the egg wash...try not to puddle in the crevassi.
- Sprinkle with Almonds and Sesame seeds.
- Place in middle rack of oven (you may reuse the foil tent on the next lower rack to help the oven stay clean) and bake for 25 minutes until color as shown in picture and a wooden grilling skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
- Decorate with glaze if desired.

A beauty! I enjoy learning the spin you put on your creations - sometimes I have to look up ingredients I have never heard of. Yeast breads and I "get along" so I'm saving this one to try out later in cooler weather!

This is easier than it sounds. Lol.
I wrote the directions this way for people that do not have an electric stand mixer; also a rolling pin is not required either. I have a Kitchenaid mixer but I actually like to make the dough with my hands and wooden utensils. I enjoy making dough the old fashioned way.
You can also make dough in the food processor if the bowl is large enough...just pulse the button while adding tablespoons of flour until it comes together and the ball starts running laps around the bowl.
You may make it sweeter if you like with 1/4 C. White Sugar or use a sweeter brand of Ice Cream. You may add another egg yolk to the dough for more flavor but then you should also add another packet of yeast and another pinch of salt.
The salt here is at the minimum level already...do not reduce or it could become bland.
Ice Cream dough is something I came up with a few years ago when I ran out of Sugar. Lol.
If you live in a warm climate you may need to hurry with the braiding procedure or let the dough rise in the refrigerator. My home is very well air conditioned which cooled the dough while I was working with it on the counter and gave me a little more time to create the braid.
For glaze...use 1/3 of canned frosting slightly warm in microwave and stirred with 2 T. milk.
There are also Sugar Free Puddings and Diet Yogurt which can substitute for a glaze.
If you're afraid to decorate then put the chosen glaze or sauce in a small dish on the side with a small fork or honey dripper and let individuals glaze their own slice.Yo he cocinado/probado esta recetaEsta es una variación
