In most cultures, the New Year is about the promise of good fortune and good luck. It’s a time to step away from the past and look forward to the future. The horseshoe has often been seen as a sign of luck, and this horseshoe shaped bread evokes that spirit. You can actually make this bread with a variety of bread recipes considering that the horseshoe shape defines the luck and the occasion.
We’re featuring a classic egg-bread recipe here that you put through the dough cycle and then shape into a horseshoe to finish in the oven.
Add the ingredients in the order listed and select the dough cycle. When done, dump the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a horseshoe shape. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat you over at 375° F./ 190° C
When risen, glaze with the egg and water mixture after whisking them together.
Place in a preheated oven at 375° F./ 190° C. and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes and then plate and serve.

I’m glad you got a good result. The horseshoe shape shows up with a lot of bread recipe variations. The shape is the only common denominator and is usually used as an expression of good luck.
