Shape the bread: divide the dough and shape it into decorative forms like rings, hearts, or birds. If using eggs, press one in the center of each bread (uncooked, in the shell).
Use small scissors to make decorative cuts on the surface for the traditional look.
Let the shaped breads rise again for another 30–40 minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for about 30–35 minutes, or until lightly golden (baking time may vary depending on your oven).
đź’ˇ Tips:
-
For a golden finish, brush the bread with beaten egg yolk before baking.
-
Store the cooled bread in a cloth bag to keep it soft and fresh.
-
You can make smaller or larger shapes depending on how many breads you want.
