Serving Size 1 piece (71g)
To make the starter: Combine the starter ingredients, cover, and
leave at room temperature overnight.
To make the dough: Mix the starter with the dough ingredients,
kneading until elastic and satiny. Let the dough rise in a greased,
covered bowl for 1 to 2 hours, until puffy.
Divide the dough into three pieces. Flatten each piece into a 6" x
12" rectangle.
Mix the filling ingredients together, and spread each rectangle with
some of the filling.
Starting with a long edge, roll each rectangle into a log. Braid the
logs together.
Cover the braid, and allow it to rise for 1 to 2 hours, until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Combine the egg white with 1 tablespoon water, and brush onto the
braid. Sprinkle with pearl or sparkling sugar.
Bake the braid for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown; a digital
thermometer inserted into the center should register 190F.
Remove the bread from the oven, and transfer it to a rack to cool.
Yield: one 12" to 14" loaf.
Tips:
If you don't have Fiori di Sicilia, replace it with 2 teaspoons
vanilla extract + 1/4 teaspoon orange oil (or 1 tablespoon grated orange rind).
If you don't have Sticky Bun Sugar, replace it with brown sugar; the
filling may seep out of the loaf a bit as it bakes.
SAF Gold instant yeast is specially formulated for sweet dough; but
use SAF Red if that's what you have, understanding that your dough
will take longer to rise, both the first and second times.
