#ad Family is everything to me, and some of my most memorable moments were growing up watching my mum carry on our family traditions. Just like the dyeing of the eggs, we would have a challenge of cracking them against one another, and those whose egg didn’t crack won. On the upside, whether you crack it or not, you still get to eat it 😂 This recipe is special to me, and I loved every minute of making it. It’s my mum’s Easter Bread recipe, I hope you enjoy it too! Ingredients: 1kg plain flour 2 eggs 1 egg yolk 125g melted butter 150g sugar 1tsp vanilla extract 500ml warm milk 7g of instant dried yeast 1tbsp sugar (for mixture) Zest of one orange Method: 1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and 1tbsp of sugar. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes until it becomes foamy. 2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, vanilla, lemon/orange zest, salt, and the remaining sugar. Add the activated yeast mixture. 3. Knead: Gradually add flour and knead for about 10-15 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. You may need slightly more or less flour. 4. Let it rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5-2 hours, or until doubled in size. 5. Shape the bread: Divide the dough into three equal parts and braid them. Place the braided loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 6. Second rise: Cover and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes. 7. Brush and bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the bread with a beaten egg yolk and sprinkle sesame seeds or sugar on top. 8. Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. 9. Cool & serve: Let the bread cool before slicing. Enjoy with butter, jam, or just as it is! #AD #AustralianEggs #Eggs #Easter @Australian Eggs

My first ever part time job as a 15 year old was at Red Rooster in Reservoir, over 35 years ago! Today I went back for the classic Rooster Roll, but something wasn’t right. The rooster roll was not what it once was, today I made it the way we used to over 35 years ago! The stories about my mate Peter and I are alleged stories and not an admission of guilt, sorry Red Rooster. #georgegeorgievski #fyp #schoollunchboxdad #redrooster #roosterroll #memorylane #chickenroll
