Directions: |
Directions:Let rise in covered greased bowl until double. Punch down and rise again. Punch down again.
Grease 4 honey tins (or round containers of a similar size) well and sprinkle well with cream of wheat or dry bread crumbs so dough doesn’t stick to pan.
Fill tins 1/3 full of dough. Let rise to 2/3. Brush gently top with 1 egg mixed with 2 Tbsp milk. Cover the 4 tins with a sheet of foil to prevent browning too fast. Bake 375º for 7 minutes, turn down to 325º for 20 minutes, then down to 275º for 10 minutes.
Cool 5-10 minutes in pans. Loosen with knife along edges. Remove loaf over sink and gently brush off loose cream of wheat. Place on towel-covered soft pillow to cool. Ice with vanilla icing and decorate with sprinkles or jelly beans. Serve with Paska Spread (recipe follows). |
