Fluffy Easter bread
Description
To make delicious and light sweet Easter bread, you need to follow the rules for preparing sweet dough. Do not heat the milk above 40 degrees, otherwise the yeast may die. Add flour gradually while kneading the dough; the dough should be elastic but not stiff. If you roll the dough into a ball and place it on the table, it should lose its shape. When kneading the dough, add all ingredients to the starter one by one, mixing well at each stage, and only then add the flour. Remember, dough loves warmth, not drafts. Good luck and
