Description
I represent to your attention very fragrant Easter cakes hails from the island of Corsica. Brioche (FR. brioche) — a sweet bread pastry. Its name was derived from the area of brie, or on behalf of the confectioner bree-Sha. In General, continuous riddles. Beginning to be manufactured in the eighteenth century in the Vendee (Normandy). I liked the idea of 'embedded' eggs in the Corsican option, which are cooked during the baking process of bread. Interested? Go!

Cooking
In this recipe I used sugar wonderful brand "Mistral", thanks again Light Puziks for him.
To remove the zest from half the orange and finely cut her. Cutting off the peel, try not to touch the white part of the peel of the fruit that contains bitterness.
Mix flour and sugar with the yeast (if fresh), add 1 egg, not much cooled melted butter, orange zest, alcohol and water. If dry yeast, dissolve them first in warm water with 1 teaspoon of sugar, wait for the 'hats' and then add to batter.
Knead elastic dough, put it in a container and cover with a towel. Leave to rise in a warm draft-free place for 2 hours. I do it preheat the oven at the minimal temperature (50 C), turn it off and put it in the dough for proofing.
After two hours the dough cool rise. In the original recipe, this brioche without filling, chopped chocolate - my invention, You can use your favorite filling, or skip this step. Take a small piece of dough for decoration. Lay on the desktop greaseproof paper about 60 cm long, Sprinkle it with flour, knead it with your hands the remaining dough into a pancake, put the stuffing.
Connect all the edges of the pellet, forming a ball. Then in the middle make a hole with your finger. Making circular movements with the hand, extend it. If You used the filling from the bottom you'll see an unreliable joint.
Using the paper, gently flip the brioche, it's more convenient to secure this seam. Don't be afraid to make the hole bigger during baking brioche will grow well.
Now decoration. Wash and dry a raw egg, press them from both sides of our 'crown'. A pending piece of dough to roll out and cut four strips that are put crosswise over each egg. Similarly, there are other stripes and 'buttons', if there is still dough. For it will turn brown I greased the surface with a mixture of yolk and 1 tsp milk. Bake 30-35 minutes in preheated to 180 gr. the oven.
