Painted eggs look great in a basket baked from yeast dough.
The basket must be prepared from butter or ordinary yeast dough of such a density that you can not only roll it out and cut it into strips, but also weave a basket from the strips.
The basis for weaving will be a metal bowl. Turn the bowl upside down and wrap it in foil. The dough must be rolled out thinly and cut into 32 strips 2 cm thick. 14 strips must be laid out so that they hang down at regular intervals on the sides of the bowl, and join at the bottom. Next, you need to blind the strips in one place and press well so that the bottom of the basket turns out to be flat. Another 12 strips of dough need to be bound with those that hang from the bowl, pinned at the bottom, and cut off the rest of the dough. From the remaining strips, weave a braid with a length equal to the circumference of the lower edge of the bowl, connect it in a circle and hook the edges. Next, you need to weave another braid for the basket handle. Grease everything with a beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.
After the basket has cooled down, you need to attach a braid rim to the edge and a handle to it. The handle of the basket is a purely decorative element, so you cannot take the basket by the handle. Such a basket with colored eggs inside will decorate any Easter table, in addition, the basket can be decorated with colorful bright ribbons.
