Recipe Reviews
friederike from Berlin,
Brilliant recipe! At first I was worried, as the dough was quite greasy, but that changed quickly when I started to knead the dough properly. I managed to make 8 small easter breads; the dough was easy to handle, and rolled out nicely (one of the 8 easter breads I turned into a braid, with 3 braids of 50 cm each!).
I coloured the easter egg using all natural dies - turmeric for the yellow ones, and elderberry juice for the purple ones, with a splash of vinegar added to make the colour stick. Unfortunately, I also baked the eggs with the bread - looking back, that might not have been the wisest thing to do.

I recently started making this for our Sunday morning breakfast, though usually just half a recipe. So far, I made a four strand braid (in a circle as it was too long for the oven), and a six strand braid with a small one strand braid on the side. It's nicest with a little extra sugar (20 g extra for half a recipe), and the whole amount of salt given in the recipe (I mention this because I usually use less).

Also possible to make it with this nut filling - but to be honest, it's much better without.
