Back in high-school, a friend of mine's family made this recipe every year around Easter. It is a delicious bread, and I enjoy making it to this day. However, it makes a lot of bread, so I end up freezing it. Next time I make it I will take pictures, it's so pretty!
Ingredients:
10 eggs
2 c sugar
2 c milk
2 c butter
15 c flour
1 tp baking powder
2 tp ground mahleb
4.5 tp dry yeast
1 Tb salt
Directions:
Sift flour and put in a large bowl. Make a hole in the center. Dissolve yeast, melt the butter, beat the eggs, and pour all of this into the hole in the flour. Blend flour with liquid gradually, first with spoon and then with your hands. Knead the dough for about 1/2 hour or until your hands stay free of dough. Cover the dough well and let stand 4-5 hours to rise. Shape dough into braids. Let the braids stand for awhile on a greased baking sheet. Then brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven, until golden brown.
