Soft glaze for Easter bread
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. The glaze for Easter bread is soft and easy to apply (be sure to use on cooled bread) with a spatula or spoon, and it won't spread. It's best to decorate the bread with sprinkles immediately, as over time the top layer of glaze will dry out and the sprinkles won't stick. Glazed Easter breads are difficult to move around because the glaze is sticky, but it's very tasty, as it's essentially a meringue cream.

1. Carefully and thoroughly separate the egg whites from the yolks, as even a single drop of yolk in the whites will prevent them from whipping properly. Use a clean and absolutely grease-free bowl.
