After shopping and being disappointed with the prices of Easter cakes, we decided to calculate the cost of baking at home. Let’s take our favorite recipe using egg yolks and melted butter. By the way, for those who decide to use this recipe, we will reveal a little secret: if you put the dough in the refrigerator, it is better to use only half the yeast (25 g instead of 50 g). With a small amount of yeast and a long rise of the dough in the refrigerator, the cakes will become much tastier than with rapid fermentation, and the finished cakes will not have the smell of yeast. So, let’s start with the calculations: – flour – 950-1000 g – 40 rubles, – milk – 500 ml – 50 rubles, – ghee 160 g – 160 rubles, – vegetable oil – 100 g – 13 rubles, – flemas – 8 pcs. . . . + 1 egg yolk for greasing the surface of the Easter cakes – 140 rubles (take a maximum of ten eggs), – sugar – 350 g – 30 rubles, – yeast – 50 g – 15 rubles, – rum or cognac – 50 ml – 60 rubles, – vanilla sugar – 2 spoons – 15 rubles, – salt – 1 level teaspoon, – candied fruits – 150 g – 100 rubles, – raisins – 150 g – 60 rubles for protein glaze: – 1 egg white, – powdered sugar – . 200-250 g – 30 rubles, – lemon juice – 1 spoon for decoration: – candy sprinkles, candied fruits, jam – this substance will significantly increase the cost of the Easter cake, we will spend 500 rubles on it and that will be enough. . So, our expenses amounted to 1213 rubles. Divide them into 8 Easter cakes (300 grams each) and get 151 rubles. Add your labor to this amount, and you get a lot: with proper preparation, the duration of kneading the Easter cake can be about an hour, because the longer you knead the dough, the better the quality of the Easter cake will be. Moreover, the Easter dough rises several times and the whole process is significantly extended in time. At what price will you now sell your “golden” Easter cake? Honestly, given the long and labor-intensive process, we would set the price at least 300 rubles for 1 such Easter cake weighing 300 g. But, of course, we will not compare our work with a simplified production process and with ingredients. which are used. By the way, the given recipe is suitable for lovers of rich, incredibly soft Easter cakes with “wet” heavy crumbs, you, Taganrog residents!
