How to cook Easter nests

Step 1

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add sugar and half the flour. Stir, cover the bowl with cling film and leave in a warm place for 1 hour. Add the remaining flour and sour cream, knead the dough and leave for another hour.

Step 2

Wash the raisins, pour boiling water and let it brew for 10 minutes. Throw the raisins on a sieve, dry and mix into the dough.

Step 3

Roll the dough into a thick sausage. Cut into pieces 2 cm wide.

Step 4

Roll each piece into a long thin rope. Take 2 bundles and twist them, roll into a ring. Seal the edges with wet hands.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cover the baking sheet with a sheet of parchment, lightly sprinkle with flour. Put the rings on a baking sheet, let stand 10 minutes. Beat the egg, grease the rings with it. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

While the nests are baking, color the eggs. Cool the finished "nests", put eggs of different colors inside and decorate the festive table with them.
