Traditional homemade SERBIAN EASTER BREAD recipe!

#weekendatthecottage #easydeliciousrecipes #serbianeasterbread For the full recipe: https://weekendatthecottage.com/serbi... A rich tasting, softly sweetened egg bread scented with orange - this SERBIAN EASTER BREAD recipe has been made by members of my family for generations! It's perfect for Easter morning or any morning! It’s often difficult to track the origins of my favourite family recipes, but as legend has it, my grandmother was taught how to make this fabulous bread from her grandmother. I have a very early childhood memory of sitting at our kitchen table as a little tyke, watching my mother make this bread. Although my mom’s no longer with us, I truly feel her in my heart and thoughts each time I go through the steps, remembering everything she taught me. Although I’m posting this recipe as Easter bread, don’t be surprised if you also see it referenced as a celebratory bread served on Orthodox Christmas (January 7) or on the feast day for a familial patron saint (St. Nicholas, December 19, St. John the Baptist January 20, St. Michael, November 21). This bread recipe really goes the distance. There are two variations on how to bake it for Easter. One is to form the dough into a KOLACH, a round bread studded with coloured, hard boiled eggs. The second is to form the dough into small buns called PUNDJE and PLETENICE, each baked with its own Easter egg. There’s a distinction on how the buns are shaped for either ladies or gents - more on that in a bit. If you’ve never made a bread recipe before, this is perfect for your first try. Read on to make sure you’re up to the task. INGREDIENTS – I’ve made a few minor tweaks to my mom’s recipe, but the one thing I never change is using the finest ingredients available. Make sure your eggs and milk are organic and fresh from the farm. Splurge and track down fresh-churned butter and check that your yeast and flour are fresh as well. You will taste the difference. HANDMADE – Although I understand how simple it would be to make the recipe using either a stand mixer with a dough hook or a bread maker, nothing beats a dough pulled by hand. It has a luxurious shredded fibre when you tear into it, the dough appears less processed, and yes, it does have a softer texture. DYING EASTER EGGS – I used to dye Easter eggs using coloured food dyes until my Aunt Alexandra suggested I follow tradition and use onion skins. She gave me one of her famous stories that went something like, “Back in the old country when the two widowed grandmas had nothing but a couple of onions and one tooth between ‘em, this is how they did it!”. I now think this authentic homespun way of dying eggs to be so charming. NO BUN INTENDED – What can I say? I’m going to follow yet another tradition, albeit a somewhat sexist one, and shape the individual buns two different ways. The beautiful, simple twirled braid is for all the single ladies and the twisted braid with the dangly loop is for all single guys. I’m not kidding, you can’t make this stuff up! Growing up, it was a ton of fun – all the kids received their very own bun on their breakfast plates, while the adults received slices of the Easter bread cut from the larger KOLACH. Well, that’s the story of this SERBIAN EASTER BREAD.
