Delicious Sweet Bread for Easter
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Zest of one orange or lemon (optional)
- 1/2 cup raisins or currants (optional)
- Colored sprinkles or icing for decoration
Cooking Steps:
Step 1: In a bowl, dissolve sugar in warm milk, then sprinkle yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
Step 3: Pour the yeast mixture into the well, followed by melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and citrus zest if using.
Step 4: Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 5: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Step 6: Punch down the dough and knead in raisins or currants if desired.
Step 7: Divide the dough into portions and shape them into Easter-themed figures or a traditional braided loaf.
Step 8: Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet, cover, and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes.
Step 9: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 10: Allow the sweet bread to cool before decorating with colored sprinkles or icing.
