It is an enriched dough that is twisted around brightly dyed eggs. The bread is often braided with three strands to represent the holy trinity, formed into a circle as a reference to life and the eggs are dyed red as a symbol of Christ&#8217;s blood. The dough is lightly sweet, flavored with orange zest and a traditional Middle Eastern spice called Mahlepi, which is made from ground cherry pits. The spice can be found in Middle Eastern or Greek markets. If you don&#8217;t have the spice, you can make the dough with ground Anise seed or even Cardamom. <!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Tsoureki Easter Bread<\/h2>\n<p>2 pounds chilled Challah or Brioche dough (When you mix the dough add 1 teaspoon Mahlepi or ground anise seed and 1 teaspoon orange zest to the water.)<\/p>\n<p>5 eggs (you can use uncooked eggs, since they will cook while the bread is baking.

One evening a student laughed and said &#8220;My wife bought me one of those and I had no idea what it was, so I use it to retrieve hard boiled eggs from the boiling water!&#8221; Well, that struck me as a brilliant idea, so when I dropped the eggs in the dye and had nothing to pluck them out with, I thought of him and grabbed my whisk.
