Greek bread - pain à la grecque

ingredients - info 250 gr pastry flour 2 eggs cinnamon 10 gr yeast

Pain à la Grecque is an incorrect translation of "bread from the canal". It dates from the 16th century, when monks in the vicinity of the Wolvengrecht (Wolves Canal) in Brussels handed out bread to the poor.

2 tablespoons lukewarm milk 100 gr soft salted butter 100 gr caster sugar coarse crystallized sugar

Roll out the dough into long, 2 cm thick rectangles. Sprinkle the coarse granulated sugar on the worktop, place the dough sheets on it, press it and then place it in an ovenproof dish covered with parchment paper. Leave to rise for 1 hour at room temperature, covered and draft-free. Then put the baking dish in a preheated oven at 185°C for 20 minutes. The bread is ready when it is nicely caramel colored.
