lenten tsoureki (pumpkin plait)

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

¼ c warm water

3 c flour

¼ teaspoon salt

⅔ c sugar

¾ c canned pumpkin

2 ½ tablespoon sunflower oil

2 tablespoon orange juice

2 teaspoon orange zest

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom

⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

in smaller bowl, mix water & yeast & let sit for approximately ten minutes (stir to completely combine). measure out flour in large bowl, & create a little crater of a well in the center. add 2 tablespoon of flour with salt & mix with yeast & water. cover & let rise for 30 minutes! 

whilst this yeast mixture is proofing, mix pumpkin, spices, & sugar until sugar is dissolved entirely. stir in oil, orange juice, vanilla, & zest & combine completely. 

once yeast has proofed, pour pumpkin mixture & yeast into the flour bowl well. mix for about 4 minutes until it comes together into dough. kneed by hand for approximately 8-10 minutes. put dough back into bowl, cover with cloth & let rise in warm room for approximately 1 hour. the dough will almost double in size!  once risen, knead on a floured surface for a second & cut dough into two equal pieces. roll each piece into a rope, & after pinching the two ropes together at the top, twist them into a plait. transfer onto a sheet pan, cover & let rise another 30 minutes.  

once risen, lightly brush with sunflower oil & bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for an approximate of 35-40 minutes till high & lightly brown

apolytikion for righteous john cassian the confessor (28 february)

the image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Father. For you took up the Cross and followed Christ. By Your actions you taught us to look beyond the flesh for it passes, rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal. Wherefore, O Holy John Cassian, your soul rejoices with the angels
