Instructions

  1. 1 Mix 1 teaspoon sugar, water, and yeast together in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Pour into a large bowl. Stir in 6 tablespoons butter until melted. Let mixture cool to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Mix remaining sugar, yeast mixture, 2 egg yolks, and salt into the milk mixture. Add 3 1/3 cups flour; knead dough until shiny and elastic.
  4. 4 Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat both sides. Cover with greased plastic wrap; let rise until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
  5. 5 Combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, 2 egg yolks, orange liqueur, orange zest, and 1 vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  6. 6 Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 6 tablespoons flour together in a bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Stir in almonds.
  7. 7 Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  8. 8 Punch down dough and divide in half. Roll 1 half into a rectangle 1/8-inch thick; keep the other half covered. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture over the dough. Fold in the short ends of the dough and roll up tightly like a jelly roll. Transfer to a prepared loaf pan. Repeat with remaining dough and cream cheese mixture.
  9. 9 Brush beaten egg white over the loaves; sprinkle almond topping evenly on top. Cover loaves with greased plastic wrap and let rise until dough reaches above the rim of the pans, about 1 hour.
  10. 10 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  11. 11 Bake loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 190 degrees F (88 degrees C), 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Run a knife along the sides to loosen; let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat milk in a medium saucepan until just below boiling; stir in 2 cups unsalted butter until melted. Cool until lukewarm.
  2. 2 Place ½ cup warm water and yeast in a small bowl; stir with a spoon to break up slightly. Set aside.
  3. 3 Beat 4 eggs and 4 egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until well combined. Add 1 cup sugar and salt; beat until mixture is thick and pale. Stir in orange zest, lemon zest, orange liqueur, vanilla extract, and yeast mixture. Beat in 2 cups flour on low speed until well combined; beat in 2 cups more flour until well combined. Beat in milk-butter mixture on medium-low speed, alternating with 4 cups more flour.
  4. 4 Beat in up to 1 cup more flour if dough is sticky until well combined. Mix in currants, raisins, golden raisins, and almonds.
  5. 5 Transfer dough to a well-floured work surface; knead until shiny and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Knead in up to 1 cup more flour if dough is still sticky. Shape dough into a ball, transfer to a large, greased bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with greased plastic wrap.
  6. 6 Place dough in a warm place; let rise until doubled in volume, 1 ½ to 2 hours. Punch down dough, cover the bowl, and let rise again, 1 ½ hours more.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 tube pans.
  8. 8 Combine 1 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; cut in ¼ cup butter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle streusel in bottom of the prepared pans.
  9. 9 Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 1 minute; divide into 3 even pieces. Roll each piece into a log, pinching seams to seal. Place logs, seam-sides up, in the prepared pans, pinching ends together to form rings. Cover pans loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes.
  10. 10 Beat 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water together; lightly brush over each loaf.
  11. 11 Bake in the preheated oven until golden; bread should sound hollow when tapped, 30 to 45 minutes. Turn loaves out onto a rack while still warm. Cool completely before slicing.

Instructions

  1. 1 Rinse strawberries and dry thoroughly. Use a syringe or clean marinade injector to inject about 2 teaspoons of brandy into each berry. Place them on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  2. 2 In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, combine bittersweet chocolate and shortening. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Stir in heavy cream and 1/4 cup of brandy. Place white chocolate in a separate bowl, and when the dark chocolate has melted, place the bowl of white chocolate over the pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Be sure to remove from heat as soon as it is mostly melted, white chocolate can be sensitive.
  3. 3 Dip strawberries into chocolate, and let the excess drip off into the bowl before placing on waxed paper to set. When the strawberries have all been dipped in chocolate, dip a fork into the white chocolate, and drizzle back and forth over berries to stripe.
