First, let's do a test... Mix the milk and water. Cast half of the mixture into a glass, add 1 tablespoon sugar and yeast, stir well and let stand for 15 minutes. Should be a lush hat. Then add to the remaining water with milk, 2 cups flour and mix well. Close the bowl with the dough with foil and allow to approach 1 hour.

While our dough is suitable, let us filling... Raisins rinse with cold water and pour the mixture of rum and boiling water, or if the kids will eat, it is strong brewed tea, preferably fruit, as it will give the raisins some extra flavor... Jam mixed with breadcrumbs to it then from the dough do not try to run away))) but Mac pour the hot milk and give him half an hour to swell...

The dough came... Whisk the eggs (leave one yolk for greasing), sugar, salt, melted and cooled butter and add all this to our dough. Stir and begin to add the remaining flour. The dough is well knead and a couple of times much to knock on the table to remove excess air. In the end, add to the dough vegetable oil and once again knead... After you put in the bowl, the walls of which are also oiled in order then the dough can be easy to get from the bowls. Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour, the dough has doubled in size. Then put on the table...

Turned out great yeast pastry, which you can bake whatever your heart desires... It can buns, crumpets, pies, etc. But we decided Easter braid... this dough should be divided into 3 equal parts, each of which is to form a long strip. Now, at first spread the jam, mixed with breadcrumbs... Suscipiam on top of the dough and it turned out that such a "sausage" stuffed inside...

On the second or raisins, which previously got our fill (rum or tea) and dried with a paper towel...

And the third – Mak...

Now put all three lanes next to each other and weave the braid...

In order for the braids not lost during baking its shape I suggest to put it in a cake tin previously greased with butter and sprinkled with semolina or flour... If you do not have this form, you can use regular baking of cakes and put in the middle of the cylinder, twisted out of two or three layers of foil, with a diameter of about 10cm...

Now you need a pigtail to put on the delay, for 20-30 minutes... Then lubricate it with a mixture of beaten egg yolk (remember we had left for this purpose) and 2 tablespoons of milk... on Top you can sprinkle the braid with sesame seed...

Bake in a preheated 220 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, until Golden brown. Here's a beauty we did it!!!
