RAISIN-PECAN BREAD



Raisin-Pecan Bread image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     project, side dish

Time 4h15m

Yield 3 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups raisins
2 cups boiling water
3 cups lightly toasted pecan halves
2 tablespoons turbinado (raw) sugar
1 1/2 cups water just slightly warmer than room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh cake yeast
1/2 cup poolish (see recipe)
4 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons finely ground sea salt

Steps:

  • Combine the raisins and boiling water in a bowl and set aside for 10 minutes. In the container of a food processor, combine 1/2cup of the pecan halves and sugar and pulse until the pecans are very finely ground. Set aside. Thoroughly drain the raisins and set them aside.
  • Place the warm water and yeast in a large bowl. Break the poolish into small pieces with your hands or a wooden spoon and add it to the bowl. Stir until fairly dissolved. Stir in the flour, ground pecans and sugar and salt. Stir until combined.
  • Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. Slowly begin to fold in the raisins and the remaining pecan halves a little at a time. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut into 3 equal pieces. Leave the pieces on your work surface and cover them with a tea towel. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
  • Gently shape each piece into a short log and place the logs on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with the tea towel and let rise until the loaves just hold a fingerprint when lightly pressed, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees and have a plant sprayer full of fresh water ready. Using a single-sided razor at a 30-degree angle, slash the loaves diagonally with 2 3-inch slashes each. When the oven is hot, spray it thoroughly with water and immediately put the bread in and close the door. Spray the oven (not the bread) again 2 more times during the first 5 minutes of baking. Bake until bread is very brown and sounds hollow when the bottom is tapped, 25 to 30 minutes more.
  • Remove the loaves from the oven and cool them on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bread: Use sturdy bread that can withstand the moisture of the casserole, such as French bread, sourdough, or challah.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Casserole Dish: Layer the bread, pecan-raisin filling, and custard mixture loosely to ensure even cooking and prevent sogginess.
  • Custard Texture: Adjust the amount of milk or cream in the custard mixture to achieve your desired consistency. For a denser casserole, use less liquid.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the casserole at 350°F (175°C) for about 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Serving: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Pecan-raisin bread morning casserole is a delightful and versatile dish that combines the flavors of sweet pecans, plump raisins, and tender bread soaked in a creamy custard mixture. It's a perfect make-ahead breakfast or brunch option, as it can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning. With its delectable taste and ease of preparation, this casserole is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. Whether you serve it with fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup, this casserole is a delicious way to start your day.
