PASKA
Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and butter over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm (no hotter than 110 F) and set aside.
- Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water placed in a mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl that has been warmed. Let proof for 5 minutes.
- Add eggs, reserved milk mixture, and 4 1/2 cups of the flour. With the dough hook attachment, mix on speed 2 for 1 minute.
- Continue mixing on speed 2, and add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time and mix about 2 minutes or until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of the bowl.
- Add ground cloves and continue mixing 2 minutes longer or until dough is smooth and elastic. It will be sticky to the touch.
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Separate a small portion of the dough to reserve for decorative elements. Add raisins and almonds into the dough and kneed the dough for about 4 minutes; also kneed the small reserved section. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place about 1 to 2 hours or until doubled.
- down dough and divide the large dough into thirds. Shape each third piece of dough into a round loaf in the prepared pans. Using reserved dough, decorate with a cross in center or braids around the edge.
- Cover and let rise in warm place 1 to 2 hours or until doubled.
- Heat oven to 350 F.
- Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Brush loaves with the egg and water wash as soon as they are removed from the oven.
- Remove loaves from pans and cool on wire rack.
