Christmas Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

500g corn flour

250g wheat flour

250g sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground fennel

150ml olive oil

150ml honey

200ml hot water

Zest of 1 lemon

1 pinch of salt

Preparation:

In a large bowl, mix the corn and wheat flours, yeast, cinnamon, fennel and salt.

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil, honey and water until everything is well mixed and hot (without boiling).

Pour the hot mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well with a wooden spoon. Add the lemon zest.

Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes to absorb the liquid.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a baking tray.

Shape the dough into small loaves and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the loaves are golden brown and have cracks on the surface.

These loaves are perfect with coffee or tea, bringing the true Christmas spirit with their unmistakable aroma of spices.
