Bread Machine Cardamom Bread Recipes

Steps:

• All ingredients must be at room temperature. Add ingredients in your bread machine owner's manual. (Mine says add liquids first).
• Add fruit and nuts at the appropriate moment. (Mine beeps).
• Set bread machine on basic bread making setting. Crust light.
• If desired, dust bread with confectioners' sugar after bread has cooled.

Steps:

• Whisk together the warm milk, warm water, sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a mixing bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over top, and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Once the yeast is foamy, stir in the flour, adding more if needed to make a stiff dough. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Combine 1/2 cup sugar with the cardamom and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 9x13-inch rectangle, and brush with 1/2 cup of melted butter. Sprinkle with the cardamom sugar, raisins, and walnuts. Roll into a log, pinch the edges closed, and place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• With a sharp knife score the top layer of the roll with V-shapes that don't quite meet in the middle the whole length of the roll, this will make the bread look braided, and is very pretty, but could be skipped. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over the top of the bread. Sprinkle with almonds and pearl sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is golden-brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into bread machine in the proper order for your machine. Use the Dough cycle.
• At end of the Dough cycle, remove dough from the machine. Place on a lightly floured board, and let it rest, covered, for about 10 minutes.
• Shape dough into a loaf, and place it in a 9 x 5 inch greased bread pan. Cover, and let rise for 45 minutes.
• Just before baking, brush the top of the dough with a little milk, and slash a line down the center. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Combine water, yeast, and 1 Tbs. of sugar in a bowl. Stir to dissolve yeast.
• Add the rest of the sugar, eggs, butter, evaporated milk, and cardamom. Mix well.

• Cover and let rest for about 30 minute.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic.
• Put dough into a greased bowl and turn over to coat both sides.
• Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
• Put raised dough onto a lightly oiled surface, and divide into 2 pieces.
• Shape each into a loaf (I just leave it in a ball) and place on a greased baking sheet.
• Beat egg and milk (or water) for egg wash. Brush entire surface of dough with the egg wash.
• Again let rise until doubled, and then brush with the egg wash once more.
• Bake bread at 375°F for 35 minutes, or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped with a finger.

Add eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (dough will be sticky). , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. , Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Divide each portion into thirds. Shape each into a 14-in. rope. Place 3 ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. , Brush with remaining milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375° until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Tuck the ends underneath, and place onto a greased baking sheet, cover loosely with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Brush the braid with beaten egg white and sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
