Easter is a holiday that is inextricably linked with the preparation of Easter cake and other traditional Russian dishes. Colorful and bright eggs will look original on the table in nests made of dough, which can be made in advance.
It is necessary
- - butter (65 g);
- –Flour (340 g);
- - eggs (2 pcs.);
- - yeast (10 g);
- –Salt to taste;
- –Sugar (45 g);
- - cream (160 ml);
- - poppy (15 g).
Instructions
Step 1
You should first prepare the basis for the test. To do this, take a metal ladle and heat the cream a little. Next, open the yeast container and gradually pour into the cream. Put sugar and 70 g flour in a mixture of cream and yeast. Stir. Leave it on for 5-8 minutes.
Step 2
While the base for the dough is infusing, take a large cup. The remaining flour must be carefully sieved. First break the eggs into a separate bowl and separate the whites from the yolks. Leave one yolk to coat the Easter nests before baking.
Step 3
Add whites and one yolk to the sifted flour. The butter should be melted and also added to the flour. Season with salt and gradually knead the dough. Easter nests will be tender and fluffy if you knead a not very tough dough. Remember to keep your hands and work area clean while preparing the dough.
Step 4
Leave the finished dough to "rest" and rise. Then divide the dough with a knife into parts, from which make an oblong flagellum, twisting clockwise into a ring. Form a nest by placing one ring on top of the other.
Step 5
Take a baking sheet, brush with cooking oil. Place boiled eggs in each nest for 10-15 minutes to create a notch. Then remove the eggs and place the rings on a baking sheet. Spread with egg, sprinkle with poppy seeds. Place the slots in the oven to bake. In 10-20 minutes, your Easter nests will be ready.
