The irresistible braided brioche
No matter if it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner time, braided brioche is one of the most essential parts of the Easter menu. Forget about the packaged version;
let us see how you can prepare it at home.
Ingredients:
- 50 dkg flour
- 10 dkg butter
- 5 dkg raisins
- 3 dl milk
- 2 dkg yeast
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- salt
Preparation:
Grow the yeast in 1.5 dl warm, slightly sugared milk. Then mix it together with the flour, sugar, the remaining milk (warm), butter, eggs, and put a little salt into it. Then add the raisins and knead the dough softly and carefully, until it becomes smooth. Finally, sprinkle the top with a thin layer of flour, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let the dough rise. When it is ready, divide the dough into three equal parts and braid them according to the length of the baking pan.
Then, entwine the three separated parts, coat the top with the remaining beaten egg, and let it rest for another 20 minutes. When risen, coat the top again, and bake it in the preheated oven.
The perfect casino egg
Ingredients:
- 10 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 1.5 dl sour cream
- 1 tablespoon of mustard
- parsley
- pinch of sugar
- salt
- pepper
Preparation:
Take your hard-boiled eggs, halve them vertically, and remove the yolks. Mix together the sour cream, the mayonnaise, the mustard, and add a little sugar. Break the yolk with a fork, flavour it with salt, pepper, and the chopped parsley, then add it to the mayonnaise mixture and fill the halved eggs with it. You can decorate the casino eggs with some parsley on top.
As Femina reports, casino eggs have several variations – some people fill the eggs with mushrooms or sardines. Dear gourmets, feel free to prepare your casino egg according to your favourite flavours.
