I have been on a short break from blogging after the mega marathon last month. In fact it was an order from hubby dear to give some place to other activities in life other than cooking, baking and blogging. But still this is my passion and so I had to sneak in to do another post this month. For this month’s Baking Eggless Challenge, I selected a German bread recipe. This is eaten with coffee. It is also baked as a marble loaf or with dried fruits and nuts. I love breads with yeast and the most favourite part is kneading the dough to soft and elastic. That is what makes every bread so soft and develops gluten for the perfect texture. But this bread does not involve so much kneading. It just has the folding part with a spatula but still it turns out so light.
This recipe is an enriched dough which has so many eggs and butter. Whenever I try to substitute eggs in this type of rich dough, the bread usually turns heavy though it is absolutely moist and soft. But to my surprise, this bread turned out so light. Though the whole bread was heavy, when I sliced, each slice was perfect in texture and so light to lift. And when I tasted it was so buttery. My daughter loved it with some nutella and I had it as it is. It is mildly sweet and you can just apply some spread and have a nice time. This bread is baked in tube pan. Mine was 8″ and I used the whole recipe for the pan. It was a little over filled and I was having nightmares while the bread was baking. I thought it will fall off the tin but with God’s grace, it stayed inside the pan. If you are trying it, I would suggest you to use a 10″ pan to make life easier.

Hi Gayathri,
As usual this receipe is also tempting and I wanted to try it ,but I don’t have loose bottomed tube pan instead I have simple tube pan.Shall it work for this bread?
Thanks in Advance.
You can use it Jalprit. Even a round tin will do..
This looks dellicious 🙂
Gayathriji! We can use dry active yeast? N how much?
Yes, you can use. If using, then use the same quantity. But you need to prove it first before adding to the flour.
Hi
You have mentioned milk & butter milk as 2/3 cup
May I know the measurement in grams?
Thanks in advance

Yes, you can. Substitute milk with orange juice. Slightly warm the orange juice and use it.
