Instructions

  1. 1 Place yeast into the bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk in ½ cup flour and warm water until smooth. Set aside until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. 2 Whisk 1 egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt thoroughly into yeast mixture. Add remaining flour (about 3 cups).
  3. 3 Knead dough in the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the dough hook on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
  4. 4 Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but should not stick to your fingers. Gently form dough into a smooth, round shape, tucking loose ends underneath.
  5. 5 Wipe out the stand mixer bowl; drizzle in olive oil. Place dough in the oiled bowl; flip several times until the surface is thinly coated with oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil; let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  6. 6 Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  7. 7 Transfer dough to a floured work surface; pat to flatten any bubbles and form into a slightly rounded, 5x10-inch rectangle, about ½-inch thick.
  8. 8 Dust dough lightly with flour if needed; cut into eight equal pieces. Form each piece into a round shape; gently tuck ends underneath as before.
  9. 9 Gently pat and stretch dough rounds into flat, ½-inch-thick bun discs using your hands. Arrange buns about ½ inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Dust buns very lightly with flour. Drape a piece of plastic wrap over the baking sheet (do not seal tightly). Let buns rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  10. 10 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  12. 12 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on tops, 15 to 17 minutes. Buns will stick together slightly where they touch. Cool completely. Tear buns apart. Slice in half crosswise to serve.

  3. 3 Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Dough will be very sticky; use a scraper and add remaining flour only as needed. Shape dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl; turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Punch down dough starting from the center, then pushing in the edges. Transfer onto a lightly floured surface and cut dough in half. Cover with a bowl and let rest for 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, lemon zest, and mace in a small bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small pan. Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
  6. 6 Cut each dough half into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball by tucking ends under. Dip tops in melted butter and place half of balls in the tube pan; sprinkle with 1/2 of the lemon mixture. Repeat with remaining dough balls, butter, and lemon mixture. Cover with a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place tube pan on a cookie sheet.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until bread is golden and sounds hollow when lightly tapped, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes; remove and let cool on a wire rack.

Instructions

  1. 1 Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl. Beat eggs and egg yolk together in a small bowl. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of beaten egg; keep refrigerated.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).
  3. 3 Combine sugar, margarine, and salt in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until dissolved. Add warm and cool cream to the bowl. Stir in yeast mixture. Beat in eggs. Add flour 1 cup at a time, blending well between additions.
  4. 4 Turn dough out onto a floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 7 minutes. Spray a clean bowl with cooking spray. Place dough inside and spray the top.
  5. 5 Cover dough with a dish cloth. Turn off oven and place dough inside. Allow to rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. 6 Remove dough from the bowl and knead for 2 to 3 minutes. Split in half; split each half into thirds. Roll each section of dough into long, 24-inch snakes. Braid 3 together, making sure to secure the ends. Repeat with the remaining 3 sections.
  7. 7 Reheat the oven to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Transfer braids to the cookie sheet.
  8. 8 Turn off oven. Let braids rise in the warm oven for 45 minutes.
  9. 9 Remove braids from the oven and brush with reserved beaten egg. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  10. 10 Bake braids in the preheated oven until tops are golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.
