Sweet Braided Easter Bread Recipe

1. Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Be sure to mix well.
2. Combine melted butter, warm milk, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom in a separate bowl. You’ve got to whisk it well.
3. Make a sticky dough by mixing the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
4. Then turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a large bowl that’s been greased with oil or butter. Make sure it’s covered with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for 1-2 hours.
6. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it in three.
7. Make long ropes from each part, and braid them together. Grasp the ends and tuck them under the braid.
8. On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, place the braided dough. Put a clean kitchen towel on top and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
10. Make sure the bread’s top is egg washed.
11. Use colored Easter eggs for decorations. Gently push them into the dough.
12. The bread should be golden brown and the internal temperature should be 190°F (88°C).
13. Cool the bread on a wire rack. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
