The recipe for paska with braids from Lilia Tsvit

Ingredients designed for five strips with a diameter of 13 cm

• milk – half a liter,
• yeast – 10 g dry or 30 g pressed,
• sugar – 150 g,
• yolks – 5
• butter – 200 g
• flour – 850 g
• oil – 30 g
• raisins – 200 g.

Preparation

• We are preparing steam. Mix barely warm milk, 2 tbsp. l of sugar and 8 tbsp. l of flour from the total amount. Add dry yeast and mix again. If the yeast is pressed, dissolve it in milk, and then add sugar and flour. We cover the foam, leave it for half an hour so that the foam rises.
• Combine soft butter, sugar and egg yolks. Add a little salt and beat with a mixer.
• We combine the oil mixture with steam, gradually add sifted flour and knead the dough. The dough should be sticky and sticky, it is important that it is not too thick.
• Spread the mixture on an oiled surface and knead very well with your hands for 30 minutes. The dough should not stick to your hands, be elastic and stretch well. Put the dough in a bowl, cover with a towel and put it in a warm place to rise for one and a half hours.
• After the dough has risen, you need to knead it and divide about a quarter of it for decorations. Add steamed and dried raisins and 2 tbsp. l flour. We mix, let it rise for another hour.
• We fill the forms with dough about a third. We make decorations from the separated dough without raisins – you can make braids, curls, crosses. It must be remembered that decorations made of dough will also grow.
• Let the dough rise in the molds until it triples in size. Next, grease the strips with yolk and bake in the oven at 160-170°C for about 40-50 minutes.
