Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Dissolve the yeast with lukewarm water or milk and gradually add 1 cup of flour. Whisk the batter and cover for 1 hour.
* Step 2
Put the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the vanillins, the salt, the mahlab, the cardamom seeds and the orange zest.
* Step 3
Beat the eggs with the sugar in the mixer thoroughly and gradually add the orange juice.
* Step 4
In a small pot melt the margarine with the oil. You can also use high quality butter if you like.
* Step 5
Warm the milk on its own as much as you can tolerate with your hand.
* Step 6
Next, add the yeast in the bowl with the flour, then the egg mixture, the warm milk and a bit more than half of the margarine and oil.
* Step 7
Knead well, always folding from the sides to the center.
* Step 8
Finally add the rest of the margarine and oil and continue kneading for a while.
* Step 9
Cover the bowl with baking paper and wrap with a plastic bag and a blanket on top. Leave for 2 hours so that the dough rises.
* Step 10
Open it, knead again and leave to rise for an additional 1 hour.
* Step 11
Braid the tsourekia however you like and let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
* Step 12
Beat an egg with 1 tsp of condensed milk and brush the tsourekia. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or almonds.
* Step 13
Bake at 170°c in a convection oven until they are golden brown, for about 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the shape of the tsourekia that we have.
