PROTOZIMON
“PROTOZIMON” is a concentrated mix (water, yeast & flour) serving as a neutral base for creating traditional tsoureki. It can get its distinctive character according to different recipes. It has the shortest preparation time (100′), ensures proper swelling and excellent shelf life. It consistently offers the same quality and provides a cost-effective solution for artisanal bakers and confectioners.
The shape found in tsoureki varies according to local traditions.
The most well-known is, of course, the braid, with or without a red egg. Braids and knots date back to Ancient Greek pagan times as symbols for warding off evil spirits
