As mentioned to make the pandoro needs many risings and then a long time to be used, but the end result repays in full.
Ingredients for approximately 1 kilogram of dough
500 grams of flour Manitoba
110 grams of demerara sugar
3 more an organic egg yolk
half a teaspoon of bourbon vanilla seeds
150 grams of butter
70 ml of milk
16 grams of yeast
Method
It is divided into several phases. Let's start with the first:
Phase 1
In bowl, place the yeast dissolved in about 40 ml of milk not to water down the entire first mixture (called pastel). When it's ready, add about a tablespoon of sugar, egg yolk and 50 grams of flour. Mix at low speed so as not to heat the mixture until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous mixture and let rise for 1 hour.
phase 2
then shoot the dough and add the remaining 30 ml of milk, 100 grams of sugar, 1 egg, 250 grams of flour and 30 grams of softened butter. Knead very slowly until the mixture is fairly homogeneous. Cover again with a cloth and let rise for about an hour.
phase 3
For the last batter, the time order to resume the dough leavening now risen and add the flour and remaining sugar, 2 eggs and vanilla. Then knead again, then take a glass bowl with lid and grease it with butter. Take the dough and fold to form a ball. Put it in the bowl and let it rise for another hour ina fresh place. then put in the fridge with bowl and covered for about 12 hours.
step 4
Perhaps the most complex but with a little patience you run quietly. Take the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out with a rolling pin to form a square. Within the same 120 grams of softened butter. Take now the four sides of the dough and close it all taking so inside the butter as seen in photos.
With a rolling pin gently push it starting from the butter and half going to the top and then from the middle downwards.
Fold the dough into 3 parts and then put it in the refrigerator the mixture for about 20 minutes.
Repeat for 2 more times with always rest of 20 minutes each.
step 5
still roll out the dough, then fold the whole forming a ball. Butter a mold dome as one of the photo (diameter of about 22 cm) put the dough inside and let rise further until the whole does not come to cover almost the top of the mold itself.
Phase 6, cooking
Bake at 170 degrees convection oven for about 10 minutes just to begin to make it grow. then lower the temperature to 160 degrees and cook for about 70 minutes over a conventional oven.
When it's ready, the oven, make it cool misshapen and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
