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.

Crepes rolls with minced meat
Loved from the first bite 🙂 Especially liked it my hubby – he’s the spicy food lover. For the children I didn’t even let them to taste 🙂 Not because of jealousy, just they still love mild tastes.
Poppy seed zucchini muffins
If you still have zucchini, you should bake these muffins. They are moist as all baking with zucchini, but poppy seed gives some new flavour.
Sourdough rye bread
I bake this bread more then a year. But as always, the best recipes hardly reach the blog 🙂 Because I bake it very often and know all ingredients in my head. This bread is perfect. Really 🙂 After founding this bread I don’t buy any bread at store. Or maybe just in big gatherings when I don’t have time to bake more of this bread. 🙂
Brinza cheese bake
When I saw brinza in a store, I bought it without thinking. But it rested in a fridge for a while. Then I searched my recipe archive and found one recipe with this cheese. So I prepared this dish the same day. My hubby liked it, even a lot 🙂 Children ate a lot too, so I think they liked it too. The taste reminded us stewed curd lasybones, which we like the same as marmots 🙂 The next day I sliced left overs and fried with a little bit butter in a pan. Kids liked it too. So I think this recipe has full right to be in my blog 🙂
Buns with bacon
We don’t eat smoked bacon with onions and bread often, just sometimes 🙂 But after visiting family in farm we got a big cut of smoked bacon. So I baked buns with bacon. I just love them, but my hubby don’t. Anyway, I baked and froze a lot of buns, so now I have snack or breakfast for a long time:)
