Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 250 milliliters Lukewarm water
- 50 milliliters Tequila
- 30 milliliters Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Additional lime zest (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, combine the lukewarm water, tequila, lime juice, and lime zest. Stir well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough begins to come together.
Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly. Beat the egg and mix it into the cooled butter. Add this mixture to the dough and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a rustic loaf or divide it into smaller rolls as desired. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top with a little water and sprinkle with coarse sea salt for a finishing touch. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before serving. For an optional sweet twist, dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with additional lime zest.
