Recipe: Easter Nest

Easter is approaching, and what is better than a bit of baking for Easter, so here a simple recipe for you to make a lovely Easter Nest. (tastes like brioche)
Ingredients:
500ml milk
100gr sugar
150gr butter
40gr yeast
2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs + 1 egg to add later to keep the dough moist

first add the yeast to the lukewarm milk, make sure you don't use to hot milk, that would kill the yeast. than add the butter and the rest of the ingredients. using a kitchen machine make sure the dough is well mixed than let it rest for at least 2 hours, the dough should double in size.

After make 3 strings out of the dough, take a cooked egg, it can be also a coloured one, and make a string around that egg, as shown in the picture.

Its a bit tricky to get it to look nice, but you have enough dough to make at least 2 of this nests.

Let it after the forming rest about 30 minutes, preheat your oven to 180 C and bake it for 45 minutes. Use a toothpick to test if the nest is fully bake.

enjoy,

Happy Easter !
