Happy Solstice everyone! Our family is celebrating today with a floral sun bread breakfast (see the recipe below) and a nighttime bonfire complete with Stockbrot (stick bread) and sausages.
Combine 1.25 cups of warm milk, 3 oz of melted butter, and a package of active dry yeast in a medium sized bowl. Combine.
Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar, a dash of salt, and the insides of one vanilla bean to the mix. Combine again.
Add 2.5 cups of flour and knead for 10 minutes.
Cover your bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for a minimum of 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Shape your dough into suns and use a kitchen brush to add egg wash. Finally, place edible flowers atop each bread. I used violets.
Bake for 10 minutes.
