I’m just letting mine rise for the last time & then paint them with the egg wash & sprinkles of course, can’t wait to try this yummy recipe 😋😋😋
can you use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
My dough wasn’t nice and soft like that. I’m wondering if it’s bc I used no fat milk that’s what I had on hand. I added a little half and half to make it a tad wetter but mine was so much more dense than that 😢 I’m not sure what I did. I guess I’ll see. I followed exactly like besides the milk. And I did the 5 cups flour bc she said to add only if needed it def didn’t
❤😂
You used to say the exact measurements during the video instead of looking at the description it’s very hard to follow. Then it looks like when you’re putting the ingredients into the mixer it looks like you have two eggs in there but you skipped that part did you add two eggs inside? This is video is very hard to follow. Everything is all over the place and I looked at the description recipe on your website and it’s completely different. You add the yeast to the butter and milk, but in this video, you added the yeast to the flower. This is very confusing. Please fix it, or just take it down or pin this comments so people can know and now I wasted a whole batch of flower and ingredients. I’m gonna go follow preppy kitchen.
I made this today and my dough came out stiff and didn’t really double in size after proofing.
Love the way yours looks ❤
Is this gal a member of the syndicate?
Where is the recipe?
I have been making this every year on easter since I started following you about 10 years ago. I love this and thank you for making me better at cooking/baking.
Would this bread still be soft the next day? I really wanted to make this for Easter but I live far away from my grandpa's house and I would have to make it the day before. Would it still taste soft and fresh?
Beautiful bread 🩷🌷
Yummy haven't had any in years thanks
My dough isn’t rising so quickly it’s a little over an hour and I am seasoned baker. So temp of liquids was 112 and yeast expiration is 2026 and instant and kept in fridge
I hope it rises soon I’m getting concerned @mrsvitale help
I’m going to try this cause you know if you’re Italian you can’t go without making the bread or some kinda pasta. Looks amazing 😊
Hi, Laura: Happy Easter to you and yours!
Can you please confirm that the printable recipe ingredient "1TABelspoon" of salt is correct?
Thank you and God Bless!
This brought tears to my eyes. I felt that little milk tin—only a Nonna would do something so caring. I love it ❤ buona pasqua!
I come from a big Italian family. My aunt has always traditionally made the Easter bread for our entire family. I still haven’t gotten her recipe so I’m going to attempt yours and see how it goes lol. (funny enough I think her Easter bread could be a little sweeter so it’s funny that your family said the same thing) I get so nervous when it comes to baking with bread and pie crusts. But you make it look accessible! Thank you so much.
You’re amazing blessings infinity too you and your family 💎💘♥️💎💘♥️.
My Moroccan grandma used to make it for us every Purim holiday. Eggs mean life, so that was the eggs significance in purim
Good job I make them the same way, my sons love them. ❤️ 🎉🎉❤
****It’s 1 tsp of salt, not 1 TBS listed on the recipe. It’s a typo. My bread didn’t rise the first time and then I checked with her old recipe. I sent Laura a message about it. The bread came out delicious.
Hi need your measurements
The sleeves down are making my eyes twitch lol! But as always your recipes are incredible!
It’s like Portuguese sweet bread we use lemon zest in our sweet bread
Ohhh, it would be great for french toast
Yeah…Stop the talking and make the BREAD !😮
Just clarify if eggs need to be boiled first or partially boiled?
A little different than the one my family made; ours used anise flavoring, no orange rind. But some.dont like anise flavor so I'm going to use your recipe this year.. it looks great! You even make me want to try the braiding..you make it look easy!
My Nana used to make these every Easter.
God bless..love this!
