50 ml of water
150 g of butter
2 eggs
50 gr of cane sugar

To complete
6 eggs

raisin to taste

Method

Sift the flours into a bowl and add the sugar and baking powder, then warm water and milk and finally the eggs and the soft butter.
Use a planetary with leaf hook or work all by hand.
Form a homogeneous ball and let it rise for a couple of hours in a glass container covered with film.
Meanwhile, soften in the warm water of dehydrated raisins and prepare 6 hard-boiled eggs.
To do this gently dip the eggs in a small saucepan of boiling water and after 9 minutes of cooking drain them and pass them immediately under a jet of cold water.
When the dough has risen, add the well-wrung raisins and work it again.
Divide it into two loaves and form two loaves about 70 cm long.
Weave them together and make a crown. Arrange the eggs equidistant from each other by simply pressing them into the dough.
Brush the surface of the donut with beaten milk or egg and bake in the oven at 180 ° for 40 minutes.

The mini version

You can similarly make gods little ones sandwiches perfect for children's breakfast or for make placeholders.
To do this, divide the loaves into three parts each to obtain six sandwiches.
You can then decide to decorate with chicken eggs or even with colored chocolate eggs covered with sugared icing. They will not melt during cooking, but could break slightly if the oven temperature is too high.

Colored eggs

The most beautiful eggs to prepare this bread are the white ones, a little difficult to find on the market, but aesthetically more suitable to decorate.
If you don't find any white eggs, try to color them with natural colors as we explain here.
