Punch down and divide dough in half. Roll each half into a long strand. Wrap( twist ) each strand over each other and form into a ring, pinching ends to seal. Place a raw dyed egg in between the twisted strands. Brush dough with an egg glaze ( 1 tablespoon of water with a beaten yolk) and let dough rise double. bake 350ºF. until golden and tested done. |
