Jidáše

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Prepare the dough using the 'omládek' (starter) method: in a stand mixer bowl, mix all-purpose and semi-coarse flour, make a well in the center, pour in two-thirds of the lukewarm milk, and crumble in the yeast. Gradually mix in flour from the sides until a batter forms, about the consistency of pancake batter. Dust the surface with all-purpose flour and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• 2
  Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining milk, sugar, salt, egg yolk, and melted butter to the bowl with the starter. Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, knead on low speed until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. This takes approximately 10 minutes. Let the dough rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• 3
  Preheat the oven to 160 °C.
• 4
  Divide the dough into 80 g pieces and roll them into 20 cm long ropes. Coil them into spirals and tuck the end underneath the dough to prevent unravelling. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a clean cloth, and let them rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. Then, brush the Jidáše with beaten egg, place them in the preheated oven, and bake for 15-20 minutes.

  After baking, generously brush the hot Jidáše with liquid honey.
