Instructions

  1. 1 Stir white sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and salt into hot milk in a small bowl until butter is melted and mixture is lukewarm. In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, sprinkle yeast over warm water; stir to dissolve.
  2. 2 Stir milk mixture into yeast mixture. Add 2 eggs and 2 ½ cups of the flour; beat on high until combined. With mixer on low, add remaining 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time.
  3. 3 Switch to the dough hook; mix until dough leaves sides of bowl, about 5 minutes. Set dough in a large, lightly greased bowl, turning dough to coat top. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 Prepare walnut filling while dough rises. Lightly beat 3 eggs in a large bowl. Stir in brown sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Fold in walnuts.
  5. 5 Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a large, lightly floured surface, cover with the bowl, and let rest 10 minutes. Line three 9x5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides.
  6. 6 Divide dough into thirds; roll each third out to a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Spoon 1/3 of the walnut filling onto each dough square and spread to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Roll up each square tightly as for a jelly roll. Pinch ends and seams closed to seal. With your palms, roll logs back and forth until uniformly round.
  7. 7 With a sharp knife or dough scraper, cut 1 log in half lengthwise to form 2 striped strands. Working quickly, twist strands loosely together with cut sides facing out, making 2 or 3 wide, horizontal twists. Fit into one of the prepared pans, patting back any loose filling and tucking ends under, if needed. It might look like a mess now, but it comes out beautifully!
  8. 8 Repeat with remaining logs and pans. Cover pans with a towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Loaves should not rise above top edges of pans.
  9. 9 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush loaf tops with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  10. 10 Bake loaves until puffed, well browned, and a thermometer inserted in centers registers 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), 35 to 45 minutes. Tent with foil if tops brown before loaves are done. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then use parchment to lift from pans and transfer to a wire rack.
  11. 11 Cool completely, about 1 hour. Glaze if desired, then slice crosswise to serve.

  1. 1 Combine golden raisins and rum in a small bowl; soak.
  2. 2 Dissolve ½ teaspoon white sugar and yeast in ½ cup warm milk in a separate small bowl; set aside until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Combine remaining 1 cup warm milk and 1 cup flour in a large bowl; add yeast mixture and stir well. Cover the bowl; set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Beat 5 egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; set aside.

  6. 6 Add yolk mixture to yeast mixture; mix well. Gently fold in egg whites. Add remaining 5 cups flour, in small batches, mixing well after each addition, until dough starts to pull away from sides of the bowl.
  7. 7 Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed. Start rubbing in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, ¼ cup at a time, until dough seems pliable and soft. Knead 2 minutes more; form into a ball.
  8. 8 Transfer dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean dish towel. Set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 90 minutes.
  9. 9 Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for 2 minutes. Sprinkle some flour over reserved raisins; scatter raisins, almonds, and mixed peels in a circle around dough. Knead dough to evenly incorporate fruits and nuts.
  10. 10 Line 2 large metal coffee tins with parchment paper. Divide dough in half; place in the prepared tins. Cover tins with a clean dish towel. Set aside to rise in a warm place until dough has risen to tops of tins, 30 to 60 minutes.
  11. 11 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  12. 12 Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 1 hour. Carefully tip loaves out of tins onto a work surface; cool, about 2 hours.
  13. 13 Combine confectioners' sugar, 1 egg white, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth; brush over tops of kulich loaves, allowing icing to run down sides.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place yeast into the mixing bowl of a large stand mixer. Whisk in warm water and let stand until a creamy foam forms on top, about 5 minutes. Add milk, sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg, salt, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Whisk mixture thoroughly. Pour flour on top of liquid ingredients. Place mixing bowl onto mixer.
  2. 2 Attach dough hook to mixer and knead on low speed until dough comes together in a ball and becomes soft and sticky, about 3 minutes. Dough will stick to the hook and pull away from the side of the bowl.
  3. 3 Transfer dough to a floured work surface, knead 2 or 3 times, and shape into a ball. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes to let gluten relax.
  4. 4 Remove dough from the refrigerator, unwrap, and dust lightly with flour. Roll out into a 9x18-inch rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Evenly spread 1/2 of the softened butter onto the middle third of the dough. Fold one unbuttered third over the buttered third and press lightly; spread remaining butter on top of that third. Fold remaining third over the first (buttered) third. Transfer dough onto a sheet pan, cover lightly with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and refrigerate 20 to 30 more minutes for butter to become firm. Sprinkle dough lightly with flour as you work if it becomes sticky.
  5. 5 Return dough to floured work surface and pat very gently into an 8x14-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Fold outer thirds over center third as before; roll out into an 8x14-inch rectangle again, keeping the edges as straight as possible. Fold in thirds as before. Cover dough lightly with a kitchen towel, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  6. 6 Roll the dough out to about 3/8 inch thick. Cut dough in half crosswise. Leave half on a lightly floured work surface; refrigerate other half of dough until needed.
  7. 7 Use a sharp 3-inch round cutter to cut 8 circles of dough from the piece on the work surface. Use a 1-inch round cutter to cut the donut holes out of the dough circles.
  8. 8 Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and sprinkle lightly with flour. Arrange cronuts and holes onto the prepared baking sheet. Let rise in a draft-free, warm place (such as an unheated oven) until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
