My chai star bread is great for potlucks or parties because it's easy
to share and looks beautiful. Prepare it ahead of time, refrigerate,
then just pop it in the oven before serving. Try using this recipe
with other fruits, too, like persimmons or apples.
Prep: 45 min. + rising
Bake: 20 min. + cooling
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl,
combine milk, sugar, yeast mixture and 1.5 cups flour; beat on medium
speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft
dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8
minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover
with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 4
portions. Roll each into a 12" circle. Place 1 circle on a
parchment-lined 14" pizza pan. For filling, combine butter, brown
sugar, vanilla and spices. Spread circle with a third of the filling.
Repeat twice, layering dough and filling; top with pears. Top with
final portion of dough.
Place a 2 1/2" round cutter on top of the dough in center of circle
(do not press down). With a sharp knife, make 16 evenly spaced cuts
from round cutter to edge of dough, forming a starburst. Remove
cutter; grasp 2 strips and rotate twice outward. Pinch ends together.
Repeat with remaining strips.
Cover with a kitchen towel; almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat
oven to 375F. Brush with beaten egg. Bake until golden brown, 20 to
25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
