    All out there that like braided loafs aka. challah aka. babka aka. “idk” have to take a deep breath right now… I got something really special for you: a delicious braided loaf filled with a coconut and pudding filling! Soooo good! When I made it, it was basically gone within seconds. Even though this loaf is already huge, I think I have to make two the next time ;)

    I have mentioned it several times already – I am a huge fan of everything baked with yeast. I don’t know why, but for me, there is almost nothing better than a slice of brioche or similar with some butter on top. The only thing that can make it better, is the filling of this braided loaf. The coconut and vanilla are the perfect addition to that classic bake.

    This week is dedicated to yeast bakes I made for my partner REWE Feine Welt*. I spent a lot of time in my kitchen to test and create different recipes for bakes that are made with yeast and used many of the products from REWE Feine Welt so see which one works best in the recipes. For this bake, I used a coconut cream spread, which normally is used on top of a slice of bread – together with the Crème à la Vanille dessert the perfect addition to the braided loaf! In the first version I only used half of the amount of coconut cream as you can see in the recipe now… that was not enough ;) So make sure you use the whole glass for the filling.

    Since this recipe is based on a classic braided loaf, you can also use other fillings. There are other spreads from REWE Feine Welt, for example, one with pistachio – also really nice for this kind of bake ;)

    If you are looking for more Easter recipes like this one here, you should check the other recipes I made: a savory pull-apart bread with salami and cheese, bread knots with ham and cheese or a pistachio cream filled wreath… Maybe that’s something you could make for your Easter brunch or breakfast.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Add the milk and butter to a microwave-safe bowl and warm up until the butter has melted – mix with the milk and let cool down until only lukewarm. Add the fresh yeast and mix until dissolved. Let bubble for about 8 minutes.

    2. Add the flour, sugar, and fleur de sel to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Add the yeast-milk, vanilla extract, and egg and knead for about 10 minutes to get a nice smooth dough. If the dough is too sticky, add some more flour. Shape into a ball and cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for about 1 1/2 hours in a warm place – the size should almost double.

    3. For the filling mix the coconut cream and vanilla pudding dessert until well combined and set aside.

    4. As soon as the dough has risen enough, place it on a floured surface, knock out the air and roll out to a rectangle of about 22×14 inches. Spread the filling on top of the dough and roll up from the longer side of the rectangle. Pull at the ends of the log you just created to stretch it a bit more, then cut in half to get to shorter logs. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and place the two logs on that and twist several times around each other to create a nice braided loaf. Tuck the ends underneath and cover – let rise a second time for about 20 minutes.

    5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Whisk the egg yolk with some water and brush the braided loaf with it, sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake for abour 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Check towards the end of the baking time and cover if it gets too dark. Take out and let cool down on a wire rack.

    1. Milch und Butter in eine mikrowellensichere Schüssel geben und so lange erhitzen, bis die Butter geschmolzen ist. Milch und Butter verrühren und abkühlen lassen, bis die Mischung nur noch lauwarm ist. Hefe hineinbröckeln, verrühren und etwa 8 Minuten stehen lassen.

    2. Mehl, Zucker und Fleur de Sel in eine große Schüssel geben und verrühren. Hefemilch, Vanille Extrakt und Ei dazugeben und alles in etwa 10 Minuten zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Sollte der Teig zu klebrig sein, noch etwas Mehl einarbeiten. Den Teig zu einer Kugel formen, abdecken und für etwa 1 1/2 Stunden gehen lassen, bis sich das Volumen verdoppelt hat.

    3. Für die Füllung die Kokoscreme mit dem Vanilledessert verrühren und bis zur weiteren Verwendung zur Seite stellen.

    4. Sobald der Teig genug gegangen ist, auf eine bemehlte Fläche setzen, die Luft kurz rausboxen und dann zu einem Rechteck von etwa 55x35cm ausrollen. Die Füllung auf dem Teig verteilen und dann von der langen Seite her eng aufrollen. Die entstandene Wurst noch etwas in die Länge ziehen und dann halbieren. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und die beiden Teigrollen darauflegen und miteinander verdrehen, damit ein Zopf entsteht – die Enden dabei nach Unten packen. Mit einem Küchentuch abdecken und erneut etwa 20 Minuten gehen lassen.

    5. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Das Eigelb mit etwas Wasser verrühren, den Zopf damit bestreichen und dann mit Hagelzucker bestreuen. Für etwa 35-40 Minuten goldbraun backen – gegen Ende der Backzeit checken und ggf. abdecken, damit er nicht zu dunkel wird. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf deinem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
