    It’s time for rhubarb again! FINALLY! I was waiting a whole year for it to come back! You know I’m a big fan of these red/green stalks! I would like to bake with it all year round, but unfortunately the season is very short. So let’s celebrate the comeback with this delicious Rhubarb Strawberry Almond Swirl Bread! :D

    This recipe today is my part of the “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise” challenge with my blogger friend Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte. Once a month we decide on a topic and each of us is creating a recipe without knowing what the other one is doing. This month we decided to go with rhubarb and strawberries. Great combination by the way ;)

    This swirl bread is similar to a sweet braided yeast loaf enhanced with a rhubarb-strawberry-almond filling. You can eat it plain, with some butter or jam – the perfect sweet addition to your Sunday breakfast or brunch. Pretty sure you gonna love it!

    The preparation of this bake is not very complicated. It takes some time because of the yeast, but the work you have to do is limited to short time. If you skip the homemade compote from the recipe and replace it with an already existing jam – raspberry or strawberry for example – this bake is even less work for you ;) Pretty sure even if you are new to baking, this one here will be not too difficult for you to make.

    So grab some yeast and flour and let’s start baking!

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Melt the butter and let cool down again. Add the flour, dry yeast, sugar and salt to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Mix the hot water with the milk and add together with the egg and melted butter to the bowl with the flour and knead for about 8 minutes (with the food processor or by hand) to get a nice smooth dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 – 1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.

    2. While the dough is rising, peel the rhubarb for the filling and cut into small dices. Wash the strawberries and cut into dices aswell. Add together with the sugar and vanilla extract to a small saucepan and cook until softened. Drain and set aside, keep the liquid in the saucepan and cook couple minutes more until you get a thick syrup. Add the almond paste or marzipan and drained rhubarb/strawberries and mix well. Set aside to cool down.

    3. Grease a 9×5 inches (22x12cm) loaf pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a rectangle of about 12×18 inches (30x45cm). Spread the filling evenly on top of the dough all the way to the edges and roll up tightly from the longer side. Cut this long roll lengthwise in half so you can see the layers of dough and filling. Braid those two strings and twist them, so you can see the layers and filling. Place in the prepared loaf pan and cover, let rise again for about 45-60 minutes.

    4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the egg yolk with some water and brush the loaf with it. Sprinkle with the slivered almonds and bake for 35-45 minutes until baked and golden brown. Let cool down in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove and let cool down completely on a wire rack .

    1. Die Butter für den Teig schmelzen und abkühlen lassen. Das Mehl zusammen mit der Trockenhefe, Zucker und Salz in eine große Schüssel geben und gut vermischen. Das heiße Wasser mit der Milch vermischen und dann zusammen mit dem Ei und der geschmolzenen Butter in die Schüssel geben und alles für etwa 8 Minuten (mit der Maschine oder per Hand) zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Mit einem Küchentuch abdecken und an einem warmen Ort für 1 – 1 1/2 Stunden gehen lassen – das Volumen sollte sich verdoppelt haben.

    2. Während der Teig geht, den Rhabarber putzen und in kleine Stücke schneiden. Die Erdbeeren waschen und ebenfalls in kleine Stücke schneiden. Beides zusammen mit dem Zucker und Vanille Extrakt in einen Topf geben und weichkochen. Die Früchte in ein Sieb schütten und die Flüssigkeit auffangen und dann zurück in den Topf geben. Die Flüssigeit einige Minuten zu einem dickflüssigen Sirup reduzieren lassen. Die Mandelpaste oder Marzipan in kleinen Stücken und die abgetropften Früchte in den Topf geben und alles gut verrühren. Zur Seite stellen und abkühlen lassen.

    3. Eine 22x12cm (9×5 inches) Kastenform einfetten oder mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche zu einem Rechteck von etwa 30x45cm (12×18 inches) ausrollen. Die Füllung gleichmäßig auf dem Teig bis in die Ecken streichen und dann von der langen Seite her aufrollen. Die entstandene Rolle der Länge nach aufschneiden, so dass man die Teigschichten sehen kann. Die beiden Teigstränge mehrmals übereinander schlagen und in sich verdrehen, damit die Teigschichten außen zu sehen sind. In die Form setzen, abdecken und weitere 45-60 Minuten gehen lassen.

    4. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Das Eigelb mit etwas Wasser verquirlen und damit dann den Teig bestreichen, mit gehobelten Mandeln bestreuen und dann für 35-45 Minuten backen. Das Brot sollte eine schöne goldene Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und in der Form etwa 15 Minuten abkühlen lassen und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.
