📝 Ingredients (2 breads 560g):
Yeast mixture:
260 ml warm milk
100 g sugar
5 g instant yeast
500 g strong flour (13% protein) — use only 1 cup for the yeast mixture
Dough:
2 eggs
3 egg yolks
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
Remaining flour
70 g butter (soft)
Zest of 1 orange
Dried fruits:
115 g dried apricots
93 g raisins
50 ml orange liqueur (or whiskey / juice / water)
50 ml hot water
Syrup:
50 g sugar
50 g water
You can also add a little vanilla or a splash of orange liqueur for extra aroma, if you like.
Bake at 340°F for 20 minutes and at 320°F for another 20 to 30 minutes
Make sure the top isn’t burning — if it starts to brown too quickly, just cover it loosely with foil.
The internal temperature of the Paska should reach about 194°F.
