Naturally leavened Greek Easter bread
Overview
Only one brown egg was prepared. I originally wanted to make a braid circle, with the brown egg hooped in the center, like a embedded ruby. However, I changed my mind temporarily. If you don't mind it, braid two small braids and make two circles. In this way, only one circle has an egg, and the other one has to be empty, allowing it to be a ring. Or, the two rings should meet each other to form a figure 8, but there is still one egg missing. It doesn't matter whether you eat it yourself or not. I used natural yeast to make this Easter bread, and the effect seems to be just as good.
