Easter ring made from butter yeast dough, can be used as a stand for colored eggs. Decorate it with icing and colored nonpareil on top too. Maybe not quite the usual decoration Easter table but very effective.
To make Easter rings, we need the same dough that we used for Easter cakes Grandma's recipe.
That is, kneading the dough for Easter cake, we use part of it for other baking. Detailed recipe described .
We divide the finished dough into small balls, roll them out with a sausage and form a ring with a diameter of about 8-10 cm.
Let them come up, grease with a mixture of yolk and milk.
Bake in an oven preheated to 170 degrees for about 10 minutes. While still warm, cover the rings with icing from protein and powdered sugar and sprinkle with nonpareil.
It turned out such portioned Easter rings - coasters for a painted Easter egg.
In the same way, you can bake a large Easter ring, and then put a few eggs in it, you get a kind of nest. It will also look very elegant. These ideas for decorating a festive Easter table are never superfluous, because we always try so hard to make this day special.

Easter ring.
For the test: (for 1 ring with a diameter of 26-24 cm)
- 1 egg,
- 225 g flour,
- 90 ml of milk,
- 25 g of powdered sugar,
- 25 g butter,
- 1 tsp dry yeast
- vanilla,
- 1/3 tsp salt.
For filling:
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon,
- 100 g brown sugar,
- 40 g soft butter,
- 100-150 g dried cranberries,
- a pinch of ground cardamom.
For glaze:
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar,
- any topping.
I will say right away, I kneaded the dough in a food processor with a hook attachment. Therefore, I put milk and an egg (everything should be slightly warm) into the mixer bowl, melted butter. Separately, I mixed flour, salt, powder, vanilla and yeast. I poured it into a bowl with liquid ingredients and kneaded the dough. With a mixer, this whole thing is done in 5 minutes. If kneading by hand, the dough should be smooth and elastic. Roll out immediately ready dough into a rectangle measuring (approximately) 30 by 40 cm.
Mix soft butter with cinnamon, sugar, cardamom. Lubricate our layer with the resulting mixture. The toppings, in my opinion, can be more, this is me just in case.)) Soak cranberries or cherries in advance in slightly warmed cognac, leave for 30-50 minutes (or more). Remove the berries from the skate and pat dry on a paper towel. Spread on top of the filling and roll the dough into a roll. Grease the edges with milk and fasten well, so that you get an even circle. Place the ring on a baking sheet with greased vegetable oil paper. With sharp scissors, make cuts along the outer edge 2/3 of the thickness, at a distance of 3-4 cm. Turn the edges of the cuts with the cut up. Cover the ring with either a towel moistened and well wrung out in warm water or (as I like) oiled cling film, but so that it just lay on the dough so that there is enough free space for the dough to rise. Leave to approach for 50-60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. At the bottom of the oven, before placing the dough, throw 7-10 pieces of ice. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Lubricate the finished ring (optional) with milk and sugar syrup for shine. Cover with icing and sprinkle with any decorations. For the frosting, beat the powder with lemon juice well with a whisk.
Buns with a cross.
For test:
- 210 ml of milk,
- 1 egg,
- 450 g flour,
- 1.5 tsp ground spices (cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, allspice),
- 0.5 tsp salt,
- 80 g of sugar,
- 60 g butter,
- 1.5 tsp dry yeast,
- 100 g of raisins (or cranberries, cherries ... etc.),
For crosses:
- 50 g flour,
- 25 g butter.
For glaze:
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp sugar.
I kneaded everything again with a mixer ... Therefore, I mixed warm milk, an egg and butter. Separately combined all the dry ingredients. I combined everything in the mixer bowl and kneaded the dough. A minute before readiness, I added raisins, which are also desirable to soak in alcohol. I immediately divided the dough into 16-20 parts. I made a ball out of each piece and immediately laid it out on a baking sheet with baking paper. I covered it with oiled film and let it rise for 40-50 minutes. Turned on the oven at 200 degrees.
For the crosses, I rubbed the butter on a coarse grater, rubbed it with flour until crumbs. I added water to make the dough of such a consistency that it could be easily squeezed out of the culinary syringe. I wrote it as it should be (according to the recipe), but the learned experience from last year, when my crosses spread over all the buns, now I have come to the other extreme ... And I made the dough for the crosses so that I simply rolled it into thin strings and laid out over the buns. And it didn’t turn out quite right, but I hope the next, third time I will do everything for sure.)))
The crosses need to be squeezed onto the already approached buns. Bake them for about 16-18 minutes, until golden brown. While still hot, brush with glaze to shine. For glaze, mix milk and sugar and bring to a boil, cool slightly.
Two of the kindest holidays - Easter and Cosmonautics Day - managed to coincide. It turns out we have ... space Easter? Well, this is a ready-made idea for "Doctor Who" :))
… for many years now, on the outskirts of the universe at a secret space station, every day the crew paints eggs and sends them into outer space…
... under the guise of raisins, miniature spaceships of mini-aliens disguised themselves ...
…on a Sunday morning, everyone suddenly turned into Daleks, and away we go…
Well, we will bake a wonderful fragrant Easter ring with dried fruits and spicy spices, which, if you look closely, suspiciously looks like a flying saucer ...
For an Easter ring with dried fruits, we need:
Easter Ring Dough Ingredients:
- 225 grams of flour;
- 90 ml. milk;
- 2 tbsp Sahara;
- 2 tbsp butter;
- 1/2 tsp salt;
- 1 tsp dry yeast.
Easter ring filling ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dried apricots (or dried fruit mix)
- 1/3 cup raisins;
- 1 tbsp butter;
- 1/4 cup sugar;
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon;
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice.
Easter Ring Glaze Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar;
- 1 tbsp orange juice.
Go! Mix flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. 
Pour milk and butter into the flour mixture and knead the dough. Nothing sticks to anything, we like this picture. 
Our dough is yeast, which means it should stand for at least an hour in a warm place. In the meantime, we will prepare for the near future: lay out a baking sheet with baking paper and grease it with oil, mix dried fruits with spices and sugar. 
And as soon as the dough is suitable, we roll it into a rectangular layer and brush it with melted butter. 
We spread the filling on the dough ... 
... roll up in the form of a roll and transfer to a baking sheet prepared in advance so that the edge of the roll is at the bottom. 
Now we connect the edges of the roll into a ring (you can grease them with milk or water to better stick to each other). 
From the outer side of the ring, carefully cut the roll with scissors by two thirds of its thickness. Cover the baking sheet with a towel and leave it alone for another half hour. 
Rest time is up! We send our Easter ring to the oven, heated to 200 ° C, for 20-25 minutes. Then, as usual, we will wait for cooling.
And in order not to just sit there, here's a task for us: pour it drop by drop into powdered sugar Orange juice until a frosting of acceptable consistency is obtained. With this icing we will pour the cooled Easter ring, or we can decorate it with some other prettiness - as you like. Bon appetit and happy holidays!
