Easter Bread

Ingredients:

  • 2¼ tsp. active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 4 1/3 cup flour
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
  • 1¼ tsp. fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • ½ tbsp. white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • Gel food coloring

Directions:

  1. Add 1 cup lukewarm water, 1 tablespoon honey and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir gently and allow to sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast. After 10 minutes, there should be foam at the top.
  2. To this bowl, add the flour, water, sea salt, honey, vinegar and melted butter. Mix using a stand mixer with a dough hook on low until a dough forms, about 1 minute. Turn the speed up one notch and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and cut it into equal pieces for the desired number of colors. Working with one section of dough at a time, add a few drops of food coloring to the dough, put on disposable gloves and fold the dough over so that the food coloring is in the middle. Add more drops and fold the dough over again. Knead the dough for a few minutes until the food coloring is fully combined and the dough is smooth. Repeat this step with the remaining sections of dough.
  4. Lightly grease different bowls and place each dough ball in a separate bowl. Cover and let rise for 1.5 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Take each dough ball and, on a floured surface, press it out into an oval that’s roughly the length of your dough pan (8 inches by 4 inches). Stack the colors on top of each other and press down to kind of seal them together. Roll the dough tightly, starting at one long end, until fully rolled up.
  6. Place the dough in a greased 8-by-4-inch loaf pan, seam side down, cover and let rise for 1 hour. About 30 minutes before you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 F.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the bread is browned on the top and reaches a temperature of about 195 F in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing open.
