Easter cake takes a lot of time to prepare. Not every housewife, even on the eve of the holiday, is ready to bake it, but homemade cakes should still be present on the festive Easter table. In this case, the best Easter baked goods will be a fancy pigtail with a variety of sweet fillings.
The yeast dough should be divided into three parts, each part should be rolled with a sausage, and then rolled out in a strip 8-9 cm wide. On the resulting strips, you need to put various fillings: raisins, nuts, cottage cheese, each filling in its own strip. You need to roll these strips into long thin rolls, hook the edges well and weave a braid out of them, connect them in a ring and pin them.
The braided braid should be laid out in a greased form and left in a warm place for 20 minutes, so that the dough comes up and rises slightly. You need to bake the braid in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 40-50 minutes.
The finished warm braid should be poured with sugar fondant and decorated with multi-colored sprinkles.
To give the braid a more Easter look, in the places where the dough is weaving, you can slightly push it apart and insert painted Easter eggs into the resulting holes.
