ingredients

  • 1 L cream
  • 1 kg butter
  • about 10 eggs (2 for the dough, spread the rest)
  • 625 g of sugar
  • about 2.5 kg of flour
  • not quite 1 pck of cardamom
  • 2 pk Succade (citron)
  • A little salt
  • Time, and a few helping hands have never done any harm ;-)

preparation

noon:


Beat 2 eggs in a large bowl.
Add yeast to a cup, add a little salt, and stir until the yeast is thin.
Add the yeast, the cream and 1 to 1.5 kg of flour to the bowl and stir.
Put the bowl in a warm place and let it ferment for 3-4 hours. Maybe cover with a cloth ...

Afternoon:

Add the remaining ingredients to the dough except for about 0.5 kg of flour.
Knead and let rest for 3-4 hours, but this time cool! (Basement, cellar)


In the evening:

Knead the dough and roll out a good inch thick, for which you will need the rest of the flour.
Cut the dough into 5 x 5 cm pieces, place on baking trays and brush with egg yolk.
Let stand overnight. (Basement, cellar)

In the morning:

Brush again with egg yolk and bake at about 225 degrees (in convection) about a quarter of an hour.
