Ingredients

• ✓ yeast
• water
• bread flour
• salt
• water
• parchment paper
• sesame seed

Instructions

1. 1 Stir 1 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let sit until frothy or foamy, about 10 minutes.
2. 2 Mix flour and salt together in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Add yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined and no traces of flour remain. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and stir again; dough should be tacky but not wet.
3. 3 Cover container with the lid. Let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
4. 4 Set slow cooker to High. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of your slow cooker.
5. 5 Dust a clean work surface with flour. Fold dough briefly with floured hands to get rid of any air pockets. Shape into a round or oval loaf depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
6. 6 Sprinkle some of the sesame seeds on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining seeds generously all around the loaf. Place dough in the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
7. 7 Cook on High for 2 hours. Lift the lid a couple of times during cooking to release the steam. An instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the loaf should read between 200 and 210 degrees F (93 to 99 degrees C). The surface of the bread should be dry and no longer spongy. Remove the loaf and tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
8. 8 Remove loaf from the slow cooker. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour.

Ingredients

• ✓ yeast
• water
• white sugar
• all-purpose flour
• rye flour
• salt
• sugar
• water

Instructions

1. 1 First, make the sourdough starter. Crumble the yeast into a large bowl. Whisk in 1 quart of warm water and 2 tablespoons of sugar until dissolved. The water should be just slightly warmer than body temperature. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of flour, continuing to mix until all lumps are gone. Cover with a dish towel, and let sit for 24 hours at room temperature.
2. 2 After 24 hours, stir well, cover, and let stand another 24 hours. It will be a thin, light-colored sourdough which is then ready to use.
3. 3 In a large bowl, stir together the rye flour, remaining 4 cups of all-purpose flour, salt and sugar. Mix in the sourdough starter using a wooden spoon, then stir in 2 cups of warm water. I transfer the dough to a heavy-duty stand mixer to mix the first couple of minutes, then it can't handle the heavy dough and I start using my hands by turning the dough out onto a floured surface. A clean countertop works best. Knead the dough, adding a few tablespoons of water at a time if it is too stiff. Fold the dough over, pull it apart, whatever you can do to get it kneaded up good. Total kneading time should be 15 to 20 minutes to get a smooth dough. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
4. 4 When the dough has risen, scrape it out of the bowl and back onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes. This is important to activate the gluten. Shape into 1 or 2 long loaves. Place on baking sheets, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until your finger leaves an impression when you poke the bread gently.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bake the bread for about 45 minutes for 2 loaves, 1 1/2 hours if you made one big loaf. Don't worry if the crust is dark. The bread will be delicious and so will the crust. Cool completely before cutting. I always freeze half.

Instructions

1. 1 Combine water and ½ teaspoon sugar in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved; stir in yeast and let stand until frothy and forms a creamy foam, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in 3 cups flour, milk, 2 eggs, ⅓ cup sugar, and salt; beat with an electric mixer until well combined, about 3 minutes. Beat in remaining 1 ½ cups flour until dough is shiny and elastic, about 5 minutes. Scrape down bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Place 2 cups butter sticks, 1 inch apart, between 2 large pieces waxed paper; roll into a solid 12x12-inch square. Transfer butter in waxed paper to a baking sheet; freeze, 15 minutes.
3. 3 Turn out dough onto a floured work surface and sprinkle with flour; roll into an 18x18-inch square. Brush off excess flour. Peel 1 piece waxed paper from one side butter square; diagonally center on dough (butter-side down) so it looks like a diamond sitting on a square. Peel off remaining 1 piece waxed paper. Fold dough corners over butter square like an envelope, fully enclosing it; gently press seams to seal.
4. 4 Roll out dough, seam-side down, on a floured work surface into a 12x24-inch rectangle. Fold dough in half into a 12x12-inch square; fold in half again, into a 6x12-inch square. Chill about 5 minutes. Roll dough into a 12x24-inch rectangle; repeat folding into a 12x12-inch square then into a 6x12-inch square, as above. Chill about 5 minutes. Repeat rolling and folding, as above, once more. Refrigerate dough 1 hour to overnight.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. 6 Combine almond filling, ½ cup softened butter, and ½ cup sugar in a bowl; set filling aside.
7. 7 Cut dough in half. Roll out 1 piece dough on a floured work surface into a 30x9-inch rectangle; cut into three 30x3-inch strips. Spread ½ filling down center of dough strips. Fold strips over filling lengthwise; pinch dough to enclose filling.
8. 8 Braid ropes together; arrange braid in a coil. Pinch end closed. Repeat with remaining 1 piece dough and remaining ½ filling.
9. 9 Transfer pastries onto the prepared baking sheets; wedge 3 hard-cooked eggs evenly between braids on each pastry. Brush pastries all over (including hard-cooked eggs) with remaining 1 beaten egg; sprinkle with sliced almonds and 2 tablespoons sugar.
10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
