The most delicious Easter kulich
Description
The baking is simple and quick. The special feature of the Easter kulich is that it stays fresh and soft for a long time. For this recipe, the flour must be sifted at least twice. If you don't like poppy seeds or raisins, you can easily omit them—your kulich will still be delicious without any add-ins. The kulich can be decorated with lemon, egg, cream, or chocolate glaze. Serve with tea or coffee.
