Ingredients:
For the yeast dough:- 200 grams of curd dry or drained
- 80 grams of sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 8 tablespoons of sunflower oil
- 8 tablespoons of milk
- 400 grams of wheat flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- red food coloring or berry juice, optional
For painting:
- 1 medium egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon of milk
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients. Knead briefly but thoroughly together with the other ingredients for the dough (except color).
- If the wreaths are to be two-tone, halve the dough and color one half with some red food coloring or berry juice.
- Divide the dough into 10 portions. Cut the dough portions into thirds or halves, depending on whether you want braided wreaths (from 3 strands) or cord wreaths (from 2).
- Roll dough pieces into long thin strands. From this braid small braids or twist cords. Squeeze the ends slightly.
- Place the nests on 1-2 trays with baking paper. Whisk egg yolk with milk. Brush wreaths with it. Bake for 15 minutes until golden yellow.
Remarks:
- The Easter nests taste best fresh, but are also easy to prepare, freeze and briefly bake again.
