Step by Step guide
Step 1
Heat half a cup of milk, but do not boil.
Step 2
Add yeast, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 100 grams of sifted flour. Mix well, cover with foil, and let rise in a warm place.
Step 3
Sift flour with salt.
Step 4
Grate the zest of the orange and add it to the flour. Add vegetable oil.
Step 5
Beat the eggs and yolks with sugar until pale, add honey and vanilla sugar, and mix. Pour the mixture into the flour and stir.
Step 6
Soak saffron in 30 grams of hot water.
Step 7
Squeeze the juice from the orange, add the remaining warm milk, the saffron infusion, and cognac.
Step 8
Add the yeast mixture (the mixture of yeast and milk) and knead the dough, adding cottage cheese.
Step 9
Cut the butter into pieces and place it on top of the dough. Cover with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30–40 minutes.
Step 10
Pour boiling water over the nuts, candied fruits, and raisins for 5 minutes, then rinse.
Step 11
When the dough has risen, knead it again, adding the candied fruits, raisins, and nuts.
Step 12
Grease the baking dish with vegetable oil and sprinkle with semolina (to prevent sticking). If using a silicone mold, no greasing is needed.
Step 13
Place the dough in the kulich mold and bake in the oven at 392°F for about 30–40 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 302°F and bake for another 20 minutes.
Step 14
Melt the chocolate in a water bath, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once melted, quickly pour the glaze over the kulich.
Step 15
Decorate the kulich to taste.
