Ingredients

6 servings
  1. For the dough:
  2. 210 gramsBread flour
  3. 40 gramsCake Flour
  4. 10 gramsSugar
  5. 3 gramsSalt
  6. 40 gramsUnsalted butter
  7. 20 gramsHoney
  8. 2 tspLemon juice
  9. 1/2 tspGrated lemon peel
  10. 140 gramsYogurt (or milk, or water)
  11. 2 1/2 gramsDry Yeast (if possible, use sugar-resistant yeast)
  12. For the lemon icing:
  13. 40 gramsPowdered sugar
  14. 2 tspLemon juice
  15. For decoration (optional):
  16. 1/4lemon's worth Lemon peel

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Remove the juice and grate the peel of 1 lemon. (you can also finely chop the part of the peel you will use for decoration). Separate the lemon you will use for the various parts of the recipe.

  2. 2

    Put the batter ingredients into the bread machine pan and add the dry yeast on top. Start the machine on the setting for making dough.

  3. 3

    Remove the dough from the bread machine after it has completed the first rising. Punch down the dough, and form it into a ball. Cover the dough with a damp tea towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes. The dough should only be slightly sticky.

  4. 4

    Open a hole in the center of the dough using your fingers to create a doughnut shape. Paint the dough with melted butter, and lay it in a fluted pan.

  5. 5

    Being mindful to not let the dough dry out, let it rise for a second time (40~60 minutes).

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven to 170℃ and bake the bread for 25~35 minutes. Remove the bread from the mold and bake for an additional 5 minutes. When it has finished baking, cool it on a wire rack.

  7. 7

    Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice together to make the icing.

  8. 8

    When the cake has cooled, pour the icing over the cake. Decorate the top with the lemon peel. You are finished.

  9. 9

    Here is a cross section. Using yogurt in the batter makes the dough more tender. The bread has a faint honey sweetness, and a very refreshing lemon flavour.

  10. 10

    I didn't use any eggs as it may interfere with the lemon taste, but if you want to add an egg make sure that the egg and water together make 140 g. I also recommend using the egg whites only.

  11. 11
