SAVARIN
Sweet, light, buttery-rich, and cakelike–that’s this French yeast fancy
Bake at 400° for 20 minutes…makes 1 loaf
1 envelope active dry yeast
OR: 1 cake compressed yeast
1/4 cup very warm water
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon rum flavoring or extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups sifted regular flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- Sprinkle or crumble yeast into very warm water in a large bowl. (“Very warm” water should feel comfortably warm when dropped on wrist.) Stir until yeast dissolves, then stir in milk and rum flavoring or extract.
- Beat in eggs, sugar, flour, and salt until well-blended, then beat vigorously with a spoon, scraping down side of bowl often, about 100 strokes, or until dough is shiny-smooth and elastic.
- Add softened butter or margarine and lemon rind; continue beating another 100 strokes or until well-blended. (Dough will be sticky.)
- Cover with a clean towel; let rise in a warm place, away from draft, 3 hours, or until double in bulk. Stir dough down; beat 50 strokes; spoon into a well-buttered 5-cup tube mold. Cover; let rise again, 1 1/2 hours, or until double in bulk.
- Bake in hot oven (400°) 20 minutes, or until bread pulls away from side of mold and top springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip.
- Cool in mold on a wire rack 5 minutes, then turn out onto the rack. Sprinkle 10X (confectioners’ powdered) sugar over top and side, if you wish.
