6 cups all-purpose flour
1 package dry yeast
2 1/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon shortening
2 teaspoons kosher salt
melted butter
METHOD
1 In the mixer bowl with the dough hook attached, place 2 1/2 cups of the
flour and the yeast. Set to speed 1 and blend for 1 minute until well blended.
2 In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk, sugar, shortening
and salt to 115 - 120°. The shortening should be just melted,
stirring constantly.
3 Add the milk mixture to the mixer bowl. Beat on speed 1 for 30
seconds, then for 3 minutes on speed 3.

then on speed 3 for 5 minutes.

smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a clean tea
towel. Let rise until doubled, about 1 1/4 hours.
6 When doubled in size, punch down and place on a lightly floured
board. Cut dough in half and let rest 10 minutes more.
7 Grease two bread pans.Tucking sides of bread dough under to form a
smooth log, place dough into loaf pans. Brush with melted butter and
let rise again until doubled, about an hour.

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, cut into small pieces
8 ounces unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
12 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
flour for dusting pan
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 350°.

egg yolks and vanilla. Add melted chocolate. Remove to another bowl.
5 Place egg whites in thoroughly cleaned and dry mixer bowl with the
whisk attached. Beat egg whites and salt on speed 3 until stiff peaks
form. Add the 2 tablespoons sugar to the whites with the
machine running.

it. Fold in the remaining egg whites, gently yet thoroughly.
7 Turn cake batter into prepared cake pan. Bake for 1 hour. To check for
doneness, insert a toothpick gently into cake. It should come out dry.
Remove the ring from the cake and cool on a rack.
8 To make the filling, place one cup apricot preserves and 1 tablespoon
apricot brandy in food processor and process until smooth. Set aside
until ready to use.
9 When cake is cool, slice in half horizontally to make two layers. Spread
two thirds of the apricot filling on the bottom layer. Place the second layer
on top and lightly brush the entire cake with a thin layer of preserves.
10 To make the glaze, melt 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate and 2
tablespoons butter in a double boiler. Remove from heat and cool
until it reaches glazing consistency. Spread over cake and chill.
