👨‍🍳 作り方

1
In a small bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in the lukewarm milk and water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, fine sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
3
Pour the yeast mixture and the beaten egg into the well. Gradually mix the ingredients together, then add the softened butter.
4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10-15 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5
Gently punch down the dough. If using, knead in the raisins and/or pearl sugar. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
6
Shape each portion into the traditional cougnou shape (often resembling a swaddled baby Jesus) or into simple rolls. Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Cover the shaped dough loosely with a clean towel and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes, or until it has visibly increased in size.
8
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
9
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with a little milk. Brush this mixture over the top of the cougnous for a golden glaze.
10
Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
