Easter Bread

Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Crumble in the yeast, mix with a little sugar and lukewarm milk. Cover the pre-dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.

Add the remaining sugar, salt, egg, soft butter, and lemon zest to the pre-dough. Knead everything into a smooth dough until it detaches from the edge of the bowl.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 45-60 minutes until it has doubled in volume.
