Steps:
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment, mix sugar, yeast, salt, and 2 cups of flour.
- In the microwave, heat milk and butter to about 120 degrees (if it gets too hot, just let cool before adding). Add to the dry ingredients and mix until they are incorporated. Add 3 of the eggs and vanilla then beat on high for 2 minutes.
- Switch the whisk for the dough hook. Mix in enough remaining flour to form a soft, sticky dough. Knead with the dough hook for about 4-5 minutes or knead by hand for up to 8 minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (85° is ideal) until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds (I weighed my pieces on a kitchen scale to divide evenly).
- Roll each portion into a 24-inch long rope. Place ropes side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet and braid. Bring ends together to form a ring. Pinch ends together to seal.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a bowl, whisk the remaining egg and water and carefully brush over the dough.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. (If you'd like, at the halfway point, brush with more glaze to get any areas that have risen up from the heat).

SWEET BRAIDED EASTER BREAD
Delicious egg bread made with eggs, orange zest, and anise egg wash for an "eggstra" special flavor! A slightly sweet bread good by itself or toasted, especially with coffee or tea. You can even use it for French toast or bread pudding. I make this every year for my family at Easter. A special treat they look forward to once a year! The colored eggs are great fun too and add to your holiday decor.

Steps:
- Combine milk, oil, salt, orange extract, 2 eggs at room temperature, sugar, orange zest, 4 cups of flour, and yeast in a bread machine, in that order. Set to Dough cycle and start the machine; be sure to peek inside while dough is mixing and add additional flour as needed to create a soft, but not wet, dough.
- Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a rapid simmer and add 4 whole eggs to soft boil. Continue to simmer for 6 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool quickly.
- Punch risen dough down and turn onto a floured surface. Divide into 3 even pieces. Roll each piece to form about a 1 1/2-inch thick rope that is 12 inches long. Take the pieces and braid them together, pinching the ends. Loop into a circle and pinch the ends to close. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Align boiled eggs evenly about the braid and push in gently, about 1/3 of the way down. Cover and let rise again, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine remaining room temperature egg, 2 tablespoons water, and anise extract in a bowl for egg wash. Brush braid with the egg wash, being careful not to get any on your boiled eggs or while baking they will have cooked wash on them and won't dye nicely.
- Bake in the preheated oven, switching between another parchment-lined baking sheet every 10 minutes throughout baking time to prevent the bottom from getting too dark, until browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool thoroughly, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Paint your eggs on the bread with liquid food dye. Be careful not to drip on the bread. Let dry, about 10 minutes. Brush bread with anisette liqueur and let dry before serving, about 5 minutes more.

BRAIDED EASTER EGG BREAD
This decorative Easter bread has whole eggs baked into it! Do not cook the whole eggs, as they will bake at the same time that the bread does. The eggs can also be dyed for extra color.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, salt and yeast; stir well. Combine milk and butter in a small saucepan; heat until milk is warm and butter is softened but not melted.
- Gradually add the milk and butter to the flour mixture; stirring constantly. Add two eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal size rounds; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each round into a long roll about 36 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick. Using the two long pieces of dough, form a loosely braided ring, leaving spaces for the five colored eggs. Seal the ends of the ring together and use your fingers to slide the eggs between the braids of dough.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place loaf on a buttered baking sheet and cover loosely with a damp towel. Place loaf in a warm place and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Brush risen loaf with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

EASTER BREAD
This light and airy bread is just sweet enough to go along with your traditional Easter dinner. (Add up to 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with the eggs if you prefer it a little sweeter.) Make it the day before, and if you have any left over, make amazing French toast with it the day after!

Steps:
- Pour 1/3 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F) into the bowl of a stand mixer. Gently whisk in the yeast, 1 tablespoon of the flour and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Set aside until bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbles start to form around the edges, about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the butter, the remaining sugar and the salt. Set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment, set on medium-low speed and pour the milk mixture into the yeast mixture. Add the 2 beaten eggs. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, and beat until a soft dough forms. Increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball, about 5 minutes (the dough will be sticky).
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and knead, adding more flour as needed, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Put the dough in a lightly buttered large bowl, cover and place in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Punch down the dough, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and cut it into 3 equal parts. Gently roll out each piece into a 16-inch-long rope. Transfer the ropes to the prepared baking sheet. Press the ropes together at one end, braid them, then gently tuck both ends under to form a long loaf. Cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the entire loaf with the remaining beaten egg. Scatter the almonds and nonpareils on top, concentrating them down the middle of the loaf (they will spread as the loaf bakes). Bake until the loaf is dark golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool about 30 minutes before slicing.

BRAIDED EASTER BREAD
A very special bread baked with a colored Easter Egg in the center; very attractive. This recipe calls for a flavoring called fior di Sicilia, which is orange flower water. I have not seen this in stores, but am assured it makes everything from cakes to frostings and cookies taste like a Creamsicle. Sounds yummy! I substitute vanilla and orange extract to equal about 1/4 teaspoon. Adapted from a recipe by Mary Ann Esposito (Ciao Italia).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Dissolve yeast in warm water in a medium bowl. Allow to proof for about 5 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface of the water. Stir in the buttermilk, then beat in 3 of the eggs, one at a time. Add orange juice, zest, and fior di Sicilia (if available) or flavor extract(s). Set aside. The fourth egg is reserved for an egg wash on the finished braids.
- In a bowl combine 4 1/2 cup flour, sugar, and salt. Break up the butter and add to dry ingredients. Work it in with your hands until mixture is crumbly. Add in the yeast mixture and continue mixing with your hands and form a ball of dough. Add additional flour, if needed, to obtain a dough that is soft but not too tacky. Dough could also be made in a stand mixer.
- Turn dough out on floured work surface and knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth. Let dough rest for 10 minutes; cover with a clean kitchen towel or an inverted bowl. Knead again for about 5 minutes and no longer tacky.
- Oil a large bowl lightly and place dough inside and turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Once it has risen to double, punch it down and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Knead until it is smooth and not tacky.
- Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a 16 inch rope. Form a braid by using 2 ropes, then bring the ends together to form a circle. Place braided ring on a parchment lined baking sheet allowing room for them to rise again (two per baking sheet).
- Place an Easter Egg in the center of each braid and brush dough with the reserved beaten egg. Sprinkle dough with colored sugar. Cover and let rise 20 minutes.
- Bake until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

BRAIDED EASTER EGG BREAD
This beautiful and decorative Easter bread adds such a festive look to the buffet table! No need to boil the eggs ahead of time, as they bake right into, and along with, the bread! Dyeing the (raw) eggs before setting them into the bread makes this an absolute stunner! Prep time includes "rise" time.

GRANDMA ROSE'S ITALIAN EASTER BREAD 1947
Grandma Rose was from Calabria Italy. We always had this at Easter time. Great for toast and really good for French Toast. Just eat with a dab fresh butter and a cup of coffee. If you braid it, you can put sugar cubes on top that will burst in the oven in those areas, That is how the Italian bakeries do the tops. Ours is plain....

Steps:
- Scald whole milk and let cool, add in the yeast.
- Beat eggs, and juice, and zest.
- Beat sugar and butter until fluffy continue to beat well.
- Add the beaten egg mixture into the beaten sugar butter mixture.
- Combine with the cooled scaled milk , and yeast mixture.
- Combine well, add sifted flour, continue adding flour until a soft dough comes together.
- Turn out onto a table and knead until soft, not too sticky, 5- 10 minutes.
- Let double in a greased bowl, covered.
- Punch down and let rise again.
- Form into braids after second rising, or put into loaf pans.
- Let rise until almost doubled Bake 350 degrees, until golden, 20 minutes approximately.
- Note; the amount of flour can be anything from 8- 12 cups, or more. but add gradually until you have a soft slightly sticky dough -- where when touched your finger comes away tacky but not sticking to the bread board.Keep your dough soft not firm --.
- All depends on flour and humidity and how much juice from your oranges and lemons.
- Can braid and place under braiding but showing raw eggs white or already coloured, eggs will cook while baking, for an Easter morning delight.
- Directions on making the dough, can vary, as I have done the procedure in different ways, and now we can't get fresh compressed yeast in our stores, so I use active dry yeast, usually 2 tablespoons.
