Thank you for input on the kneading time...being a bread baker I winged it, and had kneaded until it was smooth and elastic, but I think for novices the clarification would help.

I did have one egg crack and dribble out on this attempt (4-7-12), which I didn't notice until I pulled the bread from the oven. This was the first time an egg cracked on me, and I have made similar recipes several times in my life, so I tend to think it was a flaw with the egg and not the recipe or cooking method.

No Phyllis....they will be fine. No cracking or exploding. And trust me, if it was going to happen, havae it would happened to me.

Joanne, I keep wondering WHY the raw eggs though? Won't they "cook" and perhaps explode or at least crack and get all over the baking bread? I know - it hasn't happened to you yet... but trust me, if I want it for something special it will most likely happen to my bread. Just asking. It's so pretty, one has to nestle the colored eggs in the bread braids. I am going to try it. thank you again...

Hi Phyllis...hope you enjoy. It's such a nice addition to an Easter table. It's a bit of a sweet bread and it's dense, so it's different from a typical bread but I love it. Which means it's a good thing I only make it once a year. ;-)
