Greek Easter Bread Recipe




Ingredients:

=== CRIMSON EGGS ===
6 hard cooked eggs
1 cup water
1 tbsp red food coloring
1 tsp white vinegar
=== BREAD ===
1 box Atkins Quick and Easy Country
White Bread Mix - (12.6 oz)
1 1/2 cup warm water
4 tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup granular sugar substitute
1 tsp grated orange rind
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 Crimson eggs
2 tbsp sliced blanched almonds

Instructions:

For eggs: Place eggs in a stainless steel bowl large enough to hold them
in a single layer. Bring water, food coloring and vinegar to a boil. Pour
over eggs; let sit 5 minutes or longer until egg shells absorb color.
Remove eggs from bowl and set aside on a rack to dry.

For bread: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bread mix in a
large bowl. Mix water, butter, egg yolk, sugar substitute, orange rind
and cinnamon. Add to bread mix. Mix with a spoon to form a soft dough.
Knead by hand one 1 minute.

Press dough into a 6- by 8-inch rectangle, then cut lengthwise into 3
strips. Roll each strip into a rope measuring about 22 to 24 inches.
Working directly on the baking sheet, braid the strips. Shape braid into a
10- to 12-inch diameter circle. Tuck eggs into braid, spacing evenly.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise two hours or until doubled in
bulk.

Heat oven to 350 degrees, about 15 minutes before dough finishes rising.
Gently brush dough with remaining egg white and sprinkle with almonds.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove
from oven and transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Greek Easter tradition. Our bread mix makes it easy as well. Red eggs are
customary, but you may opt for pastels if you prefer."
