Today we celebrate Easter in my son’s kindergarten. I was asked to bring few eggs, but I just had to put them somewhere. So I baked this basket 🙂 But while I was baking it, 2 eggs of 5 were eaten by my children, so I have to put candies to look basket pretty 🙂
Challah basket
Time needed:
Yields:
Calories: 2750 kcal / all
Ingredients:
1 cup = 237 ml
- 25 g fresh or 2 tsps dried active yeast
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup oil
- 4 cups flour
- 1 egg for greasing the dough
Directions:
- Mix milk with water.
- Pour two spoons of that mixture into a glass, add yeast and leave for a few minutes.
- Mix egg, water with milk, oil, salt and sugar in the bowl.
- Slowly add flour.
- After adding flour make the dough until it’s soft and elastic.
- Leave it until it doubles it’s size.
- After that make for a while and form rollers.
- For making a basket you will need a bowl (glass and ovenproof). Wrap with foil the outside of the bowl. Turn the bowl upside down and form the basket.
- Make it the same way the baskets are made.
- Now form the brim of your basket.
- Draw the bowl on a greaseproof paper. Make three long rollers of the dough and make a plait. Lay the plait on the drawn circle.
- Now form three rollers more and make another plait. It’ll be the handle of your basket. Lay this plait over the diameter of your bowl.
- After forming all basket parts coat them with egg yolk and bake until they’re gold.
- Leave it and let the basket get cold.
- Stick all parts together with toothpicks.
- Enjoy!
Notes: I halved the recipe and use 0,5 liter glass bowls. It was enough for one basket.

Rolls with feta
Yesterday for dinner we had only soup, so I decided to bake these coissants for stronger food. Coissants and soup were perfect together.
Pumpkin muffins
In most bakings with pumpkin are used ginger, cinnamon, cloves. But my family doesn’t admire them. So I was looking for something simple but still good to our tooth. And when I found this muffins, I stopped searching. We all liked them. My kids ate them. And now I bake more and some put in a freezer for quick snack for my children before sleep.
Bread sticks with paprika and sesame
Very good snack. Kids came from the kinder-garden and ate only these sticks till none was left. I had to hide some for photo session. I baked them already two times. The first time I rolled sticks in sesame seeds, but the next day I had joy cleaning all house with vacuum-cleaner from the seeds 🙂 The next time I put sesame seeds inside the dough and it was more practical and the taste didn’t differ very much.
Pizza dough with baking powders
This pizza dough is for those who always don’t have time to prepare pizza dough with yeast. It helped me several times, when I suddenly understood that I want pizza for Friday night and there was no pizza dough with yeast frozen in a freezer. My family liked it also and I’m very happy about that 🙂
Cherry cake
Before baking this case, I couldn’t decide – it’s a cake or a pie. But when I baked it no questions were left – it’s really a cake and the good one. Crispy top, tender egg while layer and sour cherries makes very good combination. But if you are afraid of sour cherries, you can use preserved cherries. The next time egg white layer I will make smaller or will use bigger cake form (now I used 24cm). I know, the photos are horrible, but I had to do some photos in a rush, because I try to bake less sweets and the next time this cake will be baked after long time.
