How to Make Tsoureki Greek Easter Bread Bread Machine Recipe

  1. Combine all ingredients in your bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Select the dough cycle.
  2. Once the dough cycle is complete, gently remove the dough from the bread machine. Lightly flour a clean surface.
  3. Divide the dough into three equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (approximately 24 inches long).
  4. Braid the three ropes together. Tuck the ends underneath to form a neat loaf.
  5. Place the braided loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Let the loaf rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Whisk together the egg yolk and milk for the egg wash. Brush the loaf generously with the egg wash.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  10. Let the Tsoureki cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Decorate with hard-boiled, dyed eggs before baking (optional).
