This is sublime! My grandmother was from the Poland Belarus borderlands and died when I was young. So I have had to teach myself how to bake this style of bread. I have been baking and trying to perfect Eastern European style sweet breads for many years this by far is the most perfectly proportioned and easy recipe ever. I usually mix and knead mine in a processor or stand mixer. This was super simple done in my 20 qt stainless wide mixing bowl. It was an all day rise for me but that gave me plenty of time for other chores. I divided my dough in half and shaped the two loaves into ovals on a silicone mat lined baking sheet. Then I brushed them with egg white. I covered them with foils after baking the initial 20 minutes to slow browning. I thank you for helping me connect with my heritage. Well done video.
I want to thank you for this my dear mother born in Prague brought all these wonderful recipes from her home town to Australia.
We had wonderful Christmas and Easters the Czech way.
My mother passed 6 years ago and I’ve been trying to find all my favourites,poppyseed,gingerbread well everything really.
I cannot wait to start cooking to fill our home with the smell I so miss. Thank you again
She would be very proud of you to keep the cuisine alive. :)
Cristina. I have made your Easter bread 3 times and I amazed how perfect it is. And im so happy that I can mix this in a big bowl and I don’t have to haul out my Kitchenaid. This is exactly like my Polish grandma used to bake. Thank you SO much. Your tutorial was easy and enjoyable to follow.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Love your channel! Thank you so much for sharing some of the history of the dishes, it really brings a human element to your work. I can’t wait to see what’s next :)
Thank you 😊 I actually made svickova while back. www.czechcookbook.com/beef-sirloin-with-cream-sauce-svickova-na-smetane/
First time making a yeasted bread and turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Makes me happy to hear. :) Great job!
Another great video and recipe!
I moved to Prague a few years ago and love cooking and baking, but naturally have a difficult time finding step-by-step videos (of Czech dishes) or recipes in English. Of course I could ask my fiancé, who’s Czech, to translate but I prefer to figure it out myself, needless to say, your videos are a huge help, so thank you! 🙂
Thank you so much Kate for your words! It makes me happy to hear my videos and recipes are being enjoyed. :) That is wonderful you get to live in one the most beautiful cities in the whole world. :)
Those loaves are beautiful. I think if I made that bread, my family would want it all of the time, not just Easter. Thanks for showing us how to make it.
Thank you! Haha yes! It is delicious! :)
Beautiful bread and lovely story. Bread fresh and warm from the oven with butter, mmmm heavenly!
Thank you! Yes the best when still warm inside. :)
Good to see you again.
I can't hardly wait!
Looks great !!
Thank you Mirette! :)
This is amazing thank you for making this video I will make it tomorrow 😀
Please let me know how it turns out. :) I just made them yesterday and enjoyed it for a breakfast with hot cocoa. :)
Just made 2 loaves of mazanec…no cracks. I used the vanočka recipe to make them.
Man you make the recipes look easy. That and they always make me hungry
:)
Looks so good, thanks for sharing.
Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing another amazing recipe :) and love the story of it, please keep telling all meals' history :) hugs from Mexico.
I am happy to hear you enjoyed it. :) Many greetings to Mexico :)
I’m cracking up about picking almonds off!! I used to do exactly that at my ex-mother in law’s at Easter :)
Thanks to you, I can now make this bread at home and not have to visit my ex’s family to have some!
Yes the almonds are the best. :D Glad to hear you can make the bread on your own now. :)
Who cares if it's cracked? The cracks look as good as the rest of the loaf. Definately going to try this recipe.
Thank you :) I am perfectionist and was working so hard to make a recipe for many years that will not crack. But others who tried it didn't have crack, which made me happy. Crack or no crack it still gets eaten up and enjoyed. :)
Hi Kristyna, thanks so much for this recipe - doing it right now! One question - should the oven be with ventilator on or no? ❤️
Some people prefer ventilator. I would go for it.
try putting bowl of water in the oven while you cooking the bread maybe it will help the crack but thank you it look so good
Thank you for the tip. Lots of people made this exact recipe and it didn't crack for them. Some people did have a crack and most didn't. Which made me happy to hear. I think it depends on the oven and how warm the kitchen is. The water won't hurt either. :)
Zdravim z Colorada. Mazanec se povedl, yum. Udelala jsem zapleteny bochanek. Muj puvodni recept z Wondry byl prilis tuhy. Mozna zkusim na pul s Wondrou. Zkousela jste neco takoveho?
Zdravím 😊 Wondra vůbec není potřeba. Nejlepší bude jen z hladké. 😉
@@czechcookbook dekuji
I just tried to make this bread...and it did not come out. My yeast was good and active. The only thing is I used 1% milk...would that have caused a problem. Also, you said 1 stick of melted butter. One stick being 8 tablespoons???? And last question, I have a kitchen aid mixer but mine is professional and my bowl lifts up and it is stainless steel not glass so could that be a reason as well. My bread after 1.5 hours just looked dough cracked and not smooth like yours. What am I doing wrong???? I hope you get this and answer me...today is Good Friday and wanted it for Easter. Thank you
I am sorry to hear. It would be better to use higher fat milk, but that shouldn't be a problem. 1 stick of butter are 8 Tbsp. Your kitchen aid also shouldn't be a problem. Today I baked it in the Czech Republic just using my hands and it worked perfectly. If your bread was dough cracked to me it looks like it needed more milk. Every flour hydrates differently. The dough needs to be smooth before you let it rise. I hope next time it will work better.
@@czechcookbook I made sure I used 3/4 c of milk ... I tried it again. Had to throw out first batch. I did use 3/4 c of whole milk this time and again the yeast did become active after 15 minutes and I used regular all purpose flour. The second batch looks like it is turning out better. In the oven now...will see...I spent most of the day in the kitchen and home trying to get it the way yours looked. I just got this kitchenaid as a gift but it is not like yours..you have the tilt up kind, mine is the lift bowl up. Who knows...hoping it comes out better. Thanks for responding.
@@marytargonsky9561 I hope the second time it turned out better. :)
@@czechcookbook I did. It was a little dry. And bread crumble a bit when slicing. Next time I will adjust milk a little and knead a little more. I am determined to get it right for next year. Thanks for help.
@@marytargonsky9561 sounds good. Plenty of time to practice 😊
Nezbylo? At least a little piece for me ?😊
Většinou nezbyde 😀
@@czechcookbook Nevíte prosím, at 1) proč se mi ve vodě rozpadají ovocné knedlíky s tvarohového těsta? at 2) co dělat, aby se mi v plynové troubě nepřipaloval zespoda ovocný koláč s drobénkou? Snažil jsem se hledat radu na netu,ale nic jsem bohužel nenašel.🤢 Děkuji😊
Nejsou uz moc rozvarene? Zkuste je varit kratsi dobu.
Zkuste dat kolac co nejvice nahoru do trouby a pecte na mensi teplotu. Taky by melo pomoc plech s vodou pod plech s kolacem. Ale myslim si ze pokud ho zvednete a snizite teplotu uz se nebude pripalovat.
@@czechcookbook děkuji moc😊 at´ se vaří a at´se daří😊
Děkuji. I vám preji 😊
