I'll be upfront: this tsoureki recipe isn't from my Yiayia or any Yiayia, for that matter. It's one I came up with on my own. You see, I never had the chance to quiz my Yiayiades about their tsoureki-making process. All I had was a basic ingredients list that was part Greek – you know, cuppi for cup, soda for baking soda – and measurements like "ligo alevri" (a little bit of flour), or just "orange" with no mention of juice, zest, or quantity.
This ambiguity led to numerous failed attempts at perfecting the best tsoureki. So, after scouring the internet and reading countless recipes, I jotted down what I thought would work and discarded what I didn't like. The result? The easiest and fluffiest tsoureki you're bound to make. And guess what? It's not as intimidating as it seems.
As I've said in my previous recipes, it's all about patience and taking your time. Don't bother making this if you need to rush through it in three hours. This recipe demands that the yeast blooms, the dough rises, etc. You can't rush this process. But if time is on your side, you'll have the best tsoureki sitting on your benchtop by the end of the day.
