180 ml milk, lukewarm
1 pack of dry yeast
450 g wheat flour
70g sugar
2 eggs
50 g butter, soft
1 pinch of salt
Aside from that:
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp cream
Granulated sugar, to taste
Almond flakes, to taste
Colorful Easter eggs
The sweet Easter nests are easy to make thanks to these step-by-step instructions for yeast dough:
Place warm milk, yeast, flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs, butter and salt in a bowl. Knead everything into a smooth dough and let it rise, covered, in a warm place for an hour.
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and form thin ropes out of them. Twist two strands together and form them into a circle. Press the ends together well. Place dough circles on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Whisk the egg yolk and cream together and brush the nests with it. Decorate with granulated sugar and almond leaves if desired.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C top/bottom heat for about 20 minutes until light brown.
Remove the Easter nests from the oven and let them cool. Fill with colorful eggs, whether chocolate, marzipan or chicken eggs, hide them and enjoy when you find them.
Simple Tasty Tip:
For more variety, the yeast dough strands can also be filled with homemade poppy seed cake or a nut nougat cream before they are woven into Easter nests.
