Easter Bread
Description
This recipe is very simple, but the result will definitely surprise and delight you. Even a beginner cook can make it successfully—it will turn out tender and aromatic. It's best to start the initial stage at night and continue in the morning, but the total time should not exceed 8 hours. Don't be concerned about the dough's slightly runny consistency—it's perfectly normal. If you'd like to add dried fruits or candied peel to your kulich, mix them in together with the flour.
