Hi Voula,

Thank you so much for reaching out to me! Yes, you caught my typos there. The extra bread flour (1/2 cup) is meant to be added to the 3 cups, so in total you will need 3 1/2 cups of bread flour. I always recommend having a little extra bread flour on hand in case the dough turns out overly sticky.

As for the loaves, this recipe makes 2 medium-sized tsoureki, and I have corrected the part that mentioned 4 balls of dough to 2. It works best if you divide the dough into 2 large balls, and then from each ball create 3 ropes for braiding. I hope that makes sense!

I have many different tsoureki recipes on my website, and I hope you get the chance to try them. I even included a Terkenlis-style tsoureki.

Sending you warm greetings from Greece and happy baking!

Kind regards,
Krystina

I was also wondering why you have listed the 3 cups of bread flour and 1/2 cup bread flour separately? Those both go into the mixing bowl when making the dough, correct? I wasn’t sure if one was supposed to be bread flour and the other all purpose. Or if the 1/2 cup was the extra for kneading/handling the stickiness.

Sorry about all the questions! Thank you so much, Vivian/Voula 😉

Hi sweets!! Sorry for the belated Happy Easter. We are preparing for Greek Easter coming this Sunday. 🙂 Yes please try to make the sourdough starter. It is amazing once you master that.
