BEST RECIPE EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! I have made many in my years…this one is out of this world!!! Niko you are amazing!! Thank you!!!!!!!!! Happy Easter!!
how long do i let the yeast activate???
Never made them before as I’ve heard many horror stories. They turned out beautiful, thank you so much.
The only thing is I’d love if you can add is the time you leave the dough rest at each step
Whilst you added orange zest to recipee, you don't add any of the juice ? Can you ?
Congratulations Niko.
I am in my 70's and had never made tsoureki as I been unimpressed with any that I have eaten ,UNTIL I used your recipe.
Fantasically light fluffy and lots of flavour.
Thank you for great tips .
With the help of my grandaughter , we made today and they are perfect.
Kind regards and Happy Easter ✝️
Bravo levendi! THIS IS THE PERFECT RECIPIE. Tried it this year for the first time. I got 6 x 500gr tsourekia from the one batch. I am a little time poor so whipped up the dough in the evening and let it rise onight. Shaped and cooked the next morning. Bloody beautiful!!
Your a true legend Niko, making them tomorrow for first time 👍🏼 I’ve made most of your recipes
Just LOVE❤ what you do!!!!!
Love this! How long does it usually take to double in size after you place in an oiled bowl?

This recipe is amazing ! I've tried sooo many recipes the past few weeks and I finally found the perfect one for me and my family ! Thank you so much Niko ! This will be my tsoureki from now on 😁 Greetings from Belgium 💙🤍
Niko! Legend! Thank you so much they're just like my yiayas. I looked for a recipe for years, tried a few but nothing came close to hers. Thank you so very much!!!! 💕🙏
I’ve been trying to make tsourekia now for around 40yrs using Greek cookbooks and following Greek cooks on YouTube and the tsourekia never ever worked for me they came out like bricks. Followed your recipe and my tsourekia came out perfectly. My family loves them. Thank you for your easy to follow recipes. You’re a god send. Love your videos they’re very informative and funny. Keep up the good work. Καλή Ανάσταση. Cheers.
Can I use oil instead of butter?
Bloooooody beautiful maaaate. Giving this a go tomorrow! Fingers crossed and stavros done
Awesome recipe Niko!! You are the best ❤
Hi Niko I made these today. Perfect easy recipe. Just one question. I did 2 batches. First one I copied yours to a tee but found it was very stiff.
So the second batch I used less flour and same liquids and found it worked but I only managed to make 5 tsourekia.
Do you have any tips what am I missing. Thank you so much kind regards Alice
