German Easter bread
German Easter bread Osterbrot (Osterfladen, Osterfleck) - has no single recipe. All the recipes have in common is that the presence of yeast. He can be sweet (with raisins, fruits, candied fruits or nuts) or sweet (with onions and bacon). The bread is baked most often in the form of a loaf, wreath or braiding the dough into a braid. For children often bake bread in the shape of bunnies. Some of the ingredients of the Easter breads have symbolic importance. Yellow bread (achieved by the addition of saffron or grated lemon peel) symbolize the returning spring of the power of the sun. Plenty of fruits hoped for a good year. Here I give one of the many recipes Easter bread.

Cooking

step-0
I cooked a half portion. The recipe for a full batch is required "1 cube of fresh yeast (42 g)". Don't know how strong the yeast from the Germans, I substituted active dry "SAF-MOMENT". Half portions and took one packet of yeast for baking. Stir the yeast in a little warm milk with 1 teaspoon of sugar, wait until will increase in size, rise the cap.
